The Central Highlands are part of which larger physical division?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Peninsular Plateau

The direct answer is B, the Peninsular Plateau. To understand this, India is divided into large physical divisions according to landform. A plateau is a broad, raised area of land with a fairly level surface. The Peninsular Plateau is one major division, and the Central Highlands form its northern part, mainly north of the Narmada valley. Therefore, the chain is: Central Highlands → subdivision of the Peninsular Plateau → not a separate major division. Option A, the Himalayas, is a young fold mountain system in the north, so it is not the larger division containing the Central Highlands. Option B is correct because the Central Highlands are a recognised part of the Peninsular Plateau. Option C, the Coastal Plains, are narrow lowlands beside the seas and are different in origin and position. Option D, the Island Groups, are islands in the sea, not inland highlands. Memory cue: remember that the Peninsular Plateau includes the Central Highlands and the Deccan Plateau.
