• C. Western Ghats

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Midland Region

• Correct Answer: Option B - Midland Region

• The Eastern Highlands (Malanad) - This region consists of the Western Ghats and is characterized by high mountains, deep valleys, and forests. It forms the eastern boundary of Kerala.

• The Midland Region - This is the central region of Kerala that lies between the highlands and the coastal plains. It consists of undulating hills and valleys formed by the rivers flowing from the Western Ghats to the Arabian Sea.

• The Coastal Plains (Coastal region) - This is the westernmost region of Kerala along the Arabian Sea, characterized by flat land, beaches, lagoons, and backwaters.

• The Midland Region perfectly fits the description in the question as it is geographically positioned between the Malanad (Eastern Highlands) on the east and the Coastal region on the west. This region features rolling hills, valleys, and plateaus and serves as a transitional zone between the mountains and the coast
