(C)steep
(D)rocky
​

Answer 1

eastern coastal plain is a border

Answer 2

A) Broader

Explanation:

Note: There is an error in the question. Among the given choice, the first option should have been "Broader" not border.

The right word to describe the Eastern Coast Plains is broader as it is broader than the Western Coastal Plains. The Eastern coast is an emergent coast and contains many well-developed deltas like the Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri deltas. Due to the emergent nature of the coast, there are not many ports and harbours in the Eastern coast compared to the Western coast. The continental shelf extends up to 500 km into the sea in the Eastern Coast.

Option A is the answer.
