Solution

The correct option is D Gondwanaland
The Peninsular Plateau was once a part of Gondwanaland. The huge Gondwana landmass later broke up and its pieces drifted away. The Peninsular or the Deccan Plateau is a large plateau in western and southern India. It rises to 100 metres in the north, and to more than 1,000 metres in the south, forming a raised triangle within the south-pointing triangle of the Indian coastline.
