Which option contains only examples related to the Western Coastal Plain?

Correct answer: Konkan Kannad Malabar

The direct answer is B: Konkan, Kannad, and Malabar. These are the three commonly named divisions of India’s Western Coastal Plain, arranged from north to south. Konkan is the northern section, Kannad or Karnataka Coast is in the middle, and Malabar is the southern section along Kerala. Option A lists Coromandel, Northern Circars, and Chilika, which are eastern-coast examples, so it cannot be correct. Option B is correct because every item belongs to the western coastal plain. Option C lists Kaveri, Godavari, and Mahanadi, which are rivers or river-basin/delta associations of the eastern side, not the standard western coastal subdivisions. Option D lists Andaman, Nicobar, and Barren, which are island-region examples in the Bay of Bengal, not western coastal-plain sections. The word “only” is important: every example in the correct option must belong to the same region. Memory cue: Western coast sections are K-K-M: Konkan, Kannad, Malabar.
