Why is the Deccan Plateau called a triangular landmass?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it narrows towards the south

The direct answer is A: the Deccan Plateau narrows towards the south. To understand this, imagine the Peninsular Plateau as a broad elevated land area in central India that extends southward into the peninsula. Its northern part is comparatively wide, while its southern end becomes narrower, giving it a roughly triangular appearance on a map. Therefore, the shape—not a circular form, delta, or deep ocean feature—explains the description. Option A is correct because narrowing southward produces the triangular outline. Option B is wrong because the Deccan Plateau is not completely circular. Option C is wrong because a plateau is elevated land, not merely a river delta. Option D is wrong because an ocean trench is a deep depression under the sea, whereas the Deccan is land above sea level. Memory cue: broad north, narrow south, triangular Deccan.
