The correct answer is option 1, the Deccan Plateau. The Deccan Plateau in India was formed by volcanic eruptions that took place millions of years ago. It is located in the central and southern parts of the country and covers a large area. The volcanic activity resulted in the eruption of lava, which spread over the region and solidified to form layers of basalt rock. Over time, the layers of rock were uplifted and shaped by various geological forces, forming the Deccan Plateau as we see it today. The plateau is known for its flat and elevated terrain, with a characteristic black soil that is highly fertile. It is an important agricultural region in India, known for the cultivation of various crops like cotton, millets, and fruits.
