Solution

The correct option is B Sahyadris
The Western Ghats in Karnataka are referred to as Malnad or the land of hills. They are also called the Sahyadris. Malnad runs parallel to the coastline from North to South. They have steep terrace like slopes in the west and gentle slope to the East. Hence, they are called Ghats.
