What is the correct relation between the Deccan Plateau slope and east-flowing rivers?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Its general slope is west to east so many rivers flow toward Bay of Bengal

The Deccan Plateau generally slopes from west toward east. This overall gradient influences the direction of many major rivers of the Peninsular Plateau, including the Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri, which flow eastward and ultimately reach the Bay of Bengal. Local relief can create exceptions or changes in individual river courses, but the broad relationship between the plateau’s slope and the drainage pattern remains clear.

Option A is correct because it connects the eastward slope with the eastward flow of many rivers. Option B is not a meaningful description of the plateau’s drainage, while options C and D are clearly false: the rivers do not all end in the Thar Desert or form coral in Lakshadweep. The question asks for the general pattern, not an absolute rule for every stream.
