Which option gives the correct combined clue of plateau and river flow?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Deccan Plateau slopes west to east and many rivers flow eastward

The direct answer is A. The Deccan Plateau is a broad triangular plateau in southern India, and its general surface slope is towards the east. Consequently, many important rivers, including the Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri, flow eastward into the Bay of Bengal. Option A is correct because it joins the landform clue, eastward slope and common river direction accurately. Option B is wrong because the Deccan Plateau does not slope northward from Himadri; Himadri is the highest Himalayan range and lies far to the north. Option C is wrong because the Deccan Plateau is a large mainland plateau, not merely an island in the Arabian Sea. Option D is wrong because the Thar is a desert in western India, while the Deccan is a rocky plateau in peninsular India. Remember that some west-flowing rivers, such as the Narmada and Tapi, are important exceptions, but the general exam pattern is eastward flow. Memory cue: Deccan’s general slope is east, so many rivers reach the Bay of Bengal.
