A The Indian desert
B The island groups in India
C The Peninsular Plateau of India
D Northern plains of India
Explanation

The Peninsular Plateau is an old, hard, crystalline landmass shaped by faulting, weathering, and long erosion. Tors, block mountains, rift valleys, and exposed rocky surfaces fit this plateau landscape. The Indian desert is mainly associated with sand dunes, arid plains, and wind-shaped landforms. The island groups are linked with volcanic or coral origins and coastal features. The northern plains are young alluvial plains formed by river deposition, so bare rocky structures and rift-related plateau features are not their defining traits.
