Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Kerala

Backwaters are shallow lagoons and waterways running parallel to the coast, often containing brackish water. In the Western Coastal Plain, they are especially associated with Kerala’s Malabar Coast; Vembanad Lake is a well-known example. Goa is also on the western coast, but it is not noted for an extensive backwater system like Kerala. Exam tip: remember the link Kerala—Malabar Coast—backwaters.
