Solution

The correct option is B Estuaries
The Karnataka coast is broad in south and becoming narrow (with steep slopes) towards the north. Its height is more than 200 meters above sea level. It is called the 'Canara or the Karnataka Coastline'.
Many fast flowing rivers cut through the coastal areas is formed by the sea erosion. The rivers have formed estuaries. However, there are no deltas in this area.
