Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Eastern ghats

Explanation: ✅ Correct Answer: D. Eastern ghats 📚 Explanation: The Southern Plateau or Deccan Plateau is bordered by the Western Ghats and the Eastern Ghats. While Anaimudi is the highest peak, the Eastern Ghats form the entire eastern boundary. The plateau itself is a massive triangular tableland that slopes gently from west to east.
