The backwaters of the Malabar Coast can be understood as the result of which coastal process?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Water stagnation behind barriers formed by marine deposition

The Malabar Coast, especially Kerala, is famous for backwaters. These are connected water bodies lying close to the sea, such as lagoons, lakes, canals, and slow-moving channels. Coastal sandbars or other barriers formed through marine deposition can partly separate these waters from the sea. Water then collects and remains relatively calm behind the barrier, often receiving water from rivers and rainfall.

This description matches option B: water stagnation or storage behind barriers formed by marine deposition. Glacier erosion belongs to cold mountainous regions, desert winds form dunes, and melting ice at a river source does not explain Kerala’s coastal network. The word “stagnation” should be understood broadly here as slow or still water, not necessarily unhealthy water. Thus the supplied answer correctly identifies the coastal process.
