Solution

The correct option is B 1 and 3 only

Statement 1 is correct: The western coasts are an example of submergent coasts. Western coastal plain is a narrow belt due to this submergence and provides natural conditions for the development of ports and harbours. Example: Kandla, Mangalore, Cochin, etc.

Statement 2 is incorrect: As many of the rivers flow towards the Bay of Bengal, they create broader plains. Therefore, as compared to the western coastal plain, the eastern coastal plain is broader.

Statement 3 is correct: There are well developed deltas in the eastern coastal plain which are formed by the rivers flowing eastward into the Bay of Bengal.
