Which statement explains the relation between the Deccan Plateau and the Western Ghats?

Correct answer: Western Ghats form the high western edge of the Deccan Plateau

Direct answer: Option A, the Western Ghats form the high western edge of the Deccan Plateau. The Deccan Plateau lies south of the Narmada and is bordered on its western side by the Western Ghats, also called Sahyadri. These hills are generally higher and more continuous than the Eastern Ghats, so they form the plateau’s elevated western margin. Option B is wrong because the Western Ghats are not in the Ganga Plain. Option C is wrong because they are not the Himalayas’ highest range. Option D is wrong because a mountain range is not merely a river delta. Map cue: Deccan inside, Western Ghats along its west.
