The correct option is C 1 only
Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct: Eastern coastal plain is an example of an emergent coast. Bars, spits, lagoons, salt marshes, sea cliffs and arches are the typical features of emergence.
Statement 2 is incorrect: As compared to the western coastal plain, the eastern coastal plain is broader. There are well-developed deltas here, formed by the rivers flowing eastward into the Bay of Bengal. These include the deltas of the Mahanadi, the Godavari, the Krishna and the Kaveri. The rivers flowing through the western coastal plain do not form any delta.
