Which part is correctly identified as the Konkan Coast?

Western coastal part from Mumbai to Goa

The Konkan Coast is a northern section of India’s western coastal plain. In the usual school-level geographical division, it extends roughly from the Mumbai area southward to Goa, along the Arabian Sea and west of the Western Ghats. Therefore, option A is correct. The stretch between the Krishna and Kaveri deltas belongs to the southeastern coastal region, the Odisha–Andhra coast is part of the eastern coastal plain, and Lakshadweep consists of islands rather than the mainland Konkan Coast.

To solve the question, locate the Konkan on the western side of the Indian peninsula. The coast north of Goa, especially around Maharashtra and the Mumbai–Goa stretch, is commonly called Konkan. This distinguishes it from Malabar farther south and from the Coromandel coast on the east. The option describing Mumbai to Goa therefore matches both the location and the standard regional name. The supplied answer A is correct.
