Which comparison point is correct while studying India’s coastal plains?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Western coast is narrow and eastern coast is wide

The direct answer is A: the western coastal plain is narrow, while the eastern coastal plain is comparatively wide. Coastal plains are low strips of land between the sea and the nearby highland or plateau. The Western Ghats lie close to the Arabian Sea, leaving only a narrow coastal strip in many places. The Eastern Ghats are more discontinuous and lie farther from the Bay of Bengal in several sections; large rivers deposit sediments there, helping form a wider plain and deltas. Option A is correct because it gives the standard comparison used for India’s coastal plains. Option B reverses the accepted pattern, so it is wrong. Option C is wrong because coastal plains are low-lying plains, not areas that are completely mountains. Hills may occur nearby, but the plains themselves are not wholly mountainous. Option D is wrong because both regions border the sea; they are not far from it by definition. The reasoning cue is: western side—Ghats close to sea, narrow plain; eastern side—broader river-built plain with deltas. This is a general comparison, so local variations should not be confused with the overall textbook pattern.
