Solution

The correct option is C Malabar Coast
The western coastal strip south of Goa is referred to as Malbar Coast.
The Malabar Coast is a coastline on the southwestern shore line of the mainland Indian subcontinent. Geographically, it comprises the wettest regions of southern India, as the Western Ghats intercept the moisture-laden monsoon rains, especially on their westward-facing mountain slopes.
