• C. Riverine plains
• D. Both (a) and (b)

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Deccan plateau

The Deccan Plateau has a low level of irrigation. Hence option A is the right answer. The Deccan Plateau is a large plateau in western and southern India. It rises to 100 metres (330 ft) in the north, and to more than 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) in the south, forming a raised triangle within the south-pointing triangle of the Indian coastline. The largest plateau in the world is the Tibetan Plateau, located in central Asia.
