D. Satpura

Answer 1

Hint: The upland which is not a part of the Telangana Upland is the oldest range of fold mountains in India. Its history dates back to when the Indian Plate was separated from the Eurasia Plate by an ocean.

Complete Answer:The Aravalli range is not a part of the Telangana Plateau. It is situated in the northwestern part of India and it runs approximately 692 km in the south west direction. It starts from Delhi and ends in Gujarat. Guru Shikhar is the highest peak of the Aravalli range and it has a height of 1722 metres. Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi and Gujarat are the four states in which we can find the presence of the Aravalli range.

Many rivers also flow from the Aravalli and this includes - Banas, Luni, Sakhi and Sabarmati. We can find three different types of climate in the Aravalli range. In Delhi and Haryana, the northern Aravalli range, we find humid subtropical climate. In Rajasthan, central Aravalli, we find arid and dry climate. In Gujarat, southern Aravalli, we find tropical wet and dry climate.

Option A - Eastern Ghat - The discontinuous range of mountains which are present along the eastern coast of India are known as the eastern ghats.

Option B - Western Ghat - The mountain range that runs parallel to the western coast of India and also called as ‘Sahyadri’ is the western ghats.

Option D - Satpura - It is a range of hills in central India. Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh are the states in which this range is present.

Therefore the correct answer is option C.

Note: The tableland composed of the old crystalline, igneous and metamorphic rocks is the Peninsular Plateau. It is the oldest physical feature of India.
