Correct answer: C
Explanation
The Deccan Plateau covers most of peninsular India south of the Satpura range, across several states.
The Chota Nagpur Plateau in the east, the Malwa Plateau in the west and the Meghalaya Plateau in the north-east are all far smaller regions.
The Deccan is bounded by the Western Ghats on one side and the Eastern Ghats on the other, which is why the peninsula's major rivers cross it from west to east.
