Which statement about the location of the Malwa Plateau is correct?

It is mainly associated with Madhya Pradesh

Option A is correct because the Malwa Plateau is chiefly associated with western and central Madhya Pradesh, although its geographical influence extends into adjoining Rajasthan and other nearby areas. It is a part of the peninsular plateau and is largely formed over basaltic lava surfaces connected with the Deccan volcanic province. The plateau is drained by rivers such as the Chambal and its tributaries and has historically supported agriculture and settlement. Andaman is an island group, not the location of the Malwa Plateau. The outer Himalayan range is the Shiwalik, a completely different mountain belt, while Kachchh’s coastal lakes and wetlands are unrelated landforms. Thus the state association in option A is the accurate one.
