Answer: a) Valley
Explanation
- Valley: A low-lying area of land between hills or mountains, often created by erosion from a river, stream, or glacier over millions of years. Valleys typically feature fertile soil and are often shaped like a V (carved by rivers) or a U (carved by glaciers). Examples include the Kashmir Valley and the Silent Valley.
Overview of Other Options
- b) Plateau: An elevated landform with a flat or gently undulating top surface, surrounded by steep slopes on at least one side (e.g., the Deccan Plateau).
- c) Plain: A large, broad area of flat or gently rolling land with low relief and minimal elevation changes (e.g., the Indo-Gangetic Plain).
- d) Peninsula: A piece of land that is surrounded by water on three sides while remaining connected to a larger landmass on one side (e.g., the Indian Peninsula).
