Solution

The correct options are
A Western Ghats
B Black soil
The peninsular plateau is bound by the mountains of Western Ghats in the West. The southern part of the peninsular plateau is the result of volcanic activity. When the lava cooled, igneous rocks were formed. Basalt- a type of igneous rock broke down to give black soil. Black soil is used for the cultivation of cotton.
