Solution
The correct option is A Peninsular plateau.
The Deccan Plateau is a large plateau in India, making up most of the southern part of the country.
It rises a hundred metres high in the north, and more than a kilometre high in the south, forming a raised triangle within the familiar downward-pointing triangle of the Indian subcontinent's coastline.
The Peninsular Plateau has two broad divisions: The Central Highlands and; The Deccan Plateau.
The Central Highlands refer to the portion of the Peninsular Plateau that lies to the north of the Narmada river and covers a majority of the Malwa Plateau.
The Deccan Plateau is a triangular landmass lying to the south of the Narmada.
