Correct Answer: Option D — Plateau. Plateau is correct because it is the Deccan Plateau is a major example. Plateau is also associated with an elevated flat or gently rolling upland. A further identifying fact is that Plateau is often called a tableland. Another useful fact is that Plateau is associated with the Deccan Plateau is a major example. Why the other options are incorrect: Option A — Alluvial plain: It is the Indo-Gangetic Plain is a major example and is associated with a depositional plain; those are the identifying facts of Alluvial plain. Option B — Delta: It is the Ganga-Brahmaputra delta is a major example and is associated with a river-mouth depositional landform; those are the identifying facts of Delta. Option C — Meander: It is a cut-off meander may form an oxbow lake and is associated with a sinuous river-channel feature; those are the identifying facts of Meander. Exam Takeaway: Link Plateau with “the Deccan Plateau is a major example” and “an elevated flat or gently rolling upland” for quick revision.
