Presence of residual mountain ranges such as the Veliconda hills and Mahendragiri hills
Deep, V-shaped river valleys formed by fast-flowing rivers

Select the answer using the code given below:

Correct Answer: B — 1 and 2

Explanation:

Submergence along parts of the western coast due to tectonic processes is associated with the Peninsular Block. Residual hill systems such as Veliconda and Mahendragiri are also accepted as associated features. Deep, sharply V-shaped valleys formed by very fast rivers are not taken as the defining association here.
