Which major mountain range is on the western edge of the Peninsular Plateau?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Western Ghats

The Peninsular Plateau is an ancient, relatively stable tableland made of hard crystalline rocks. Its western edge is marked by the Western Ghats, also called the Sahyadri in many places. This range runs roughly parallel to the western coast and forms a fairly continuous escarpment. The Eastern Ghats lie along the eastern side, but they are more discontinuous because rivers cut through them. This directional distinction is central to identifying the plateau’s boundaries.

Option A is correct because the Western Ghats stand along the western margin of the Peninsular Plateau. The Eastern Ghats belong to the eastern margin, while the Himalayas and Karakoram are much younger and belong to the northern mountain region. The question asks specifically for the western edge, so the name and direction match only Western Ghats. Therefore, the correct choice is A.
