Solution
The correct option is D Chotanagpur Plateau
The Meghalaya and Karbi Anglong plateau stand detached from the main peninsular block. Similar to Chota Nagpur plateau, the Meghalaya plateau is also rich in mineral resources like coal, iron ore, sillimanite, limestone and uranium. This area receives maximum rainfall from the south west monsoon. As a result, the Meghalaya plateau has a highly eroded surface.
