Western Coastal Plain Location Explained

The question asks us to identify the geographical region situated between the Western Ghats mountain range and the Arabian Sea.

Let's break down the location of India's key features:

Western Ghats: This is a major mountain range that runs parallel to the western coast of the Indian peninsula.
Arabian Sea: This large body of water lies to the west of the Indian subcontinent.

The landmass that lies directly between the Western Ghats (to the east) and the Arabian Sea (to the west) is known as the Western Coastal Plain.

This plain is a relatively narrow strip of land. It stretches from Gujarat in the north down to Kerala in the south.

Malwa Plateau: This plateau is located in the northwestern part of Madhya Pradesh, quite far inland and not near the Arabian Sea or directly adjacent to the Western Ghats in the required manner.
Deccan Plateau: While a large plateau in southern India, it lies mainly to the east of the Western Ghats, extending towards the east coast.
Eastern Coastal Plain: This plain is located on the opposite side of the peninsula, between the Eastern Ghats and the Bay of Bengal.

Therefore, the only option that accurately describes the area between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea is the Western Coastal Plain.
