Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

Indore is geographically and historically situated on the Malwa Plateau in the western part of Madhya Pradesh [1]. It is the largest city and the commercial capital of the state, located on the southern edge of this volcanic upland at an average altitude of 553 meters above sea level [1]. Historically, Indore served as the capital of the Holkar dynasty, which controlled a significant portion of the Malwa region. While the state is divided into several distinct geographical and cultural regions such as Bundelkhand, Mahakoshal, and Nimar, Indore specifically falls within the Malwa region. The city is positioned on the banks of the Saraswati and Khan rivers, just north of the Vindhya Range, which separates the Malwa Plateau from the Nimar region located in the lower Narmada valley.
