D) The origin is nearer to the sea
​

Answer 1

Option B is the correct answer

DECCAN PLATEAU IS SLANTING TOWARDS EAST

Answer 2

River Krishna and Godavari flows towards east because Deccan Plateau is slanting towards east.

• As we know that water flows from a higher height to a lower one, but it cannot flow from a lower height to higher height when no other force is acting on it.
• Since the deccan plateau is slanted towards the east, therefore water flows at its usual direction, i.e. flows towards the direction of slant.
