Answer 1

Hint:From the period of Malwa Kingdom, the malwa region had been a different and distinct unit. The kingdoms and dynasties of Avanti, Mauryas, Malavas, Guptas, Paramaras, the Malwa Sultans, Mughals and Marathas had ruled the region.

Complete answer:
By geographical nature, the malwa is a doab region. Doab is the region lying between two major river systems. The region is of volcanic origin which occupies a highland in Western India.
Till the year of 1947 the region of Malwa was an administrative division only. After the independence of India in 1947, the Malwa region was incorporated into the state of Madhya Pradesh.At the present time the historical Malwa region comprises the district of Western Madhya Pradesh and certain parts of Southeastern Rajasthan. Further, the region of Malwa is extended to encompass the Nimar region, which is located in the south of the Vindhyas.

And the culture of Rajasthan influences the culture of this region as a result of the proximity in geographical terms. The region was recently ruled by Marathas and hence the influence of the Maratha culture is also noticeable. Hindi is very widely spoken in the urban areas in Malwa. But the main language is Malvi and it is still spoken by a majority of the inhabitants of the region.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

Note:Major population of the region of the Malwa are economically engaged in agriculture and related activities The main producers of the region are wheat and soybeans. The textile business is also of significant importance in the region.
