Answer 1

The correct option is C Only 1 and 3

The Bay of Bengal islands including the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are largely tectonic and volcanic in origin. While the Islands of Arabian Sea including Lakshadweep are mainly coral formations. Deccan trap was formed during cretaceous period due to intense volcanic activities. Aravali ranges are nothing but the remains of old fold mountains.
