Correct Answer: Deccan Plateau
Solution : The correct answer is the Deccan Plateau.
The Deccan plateau was formed by volcanic activity that lasted millions of years and resulted in lava deposition.

This led to the deposition of lava in the Deccan Plateau and the stoppage of volcanic activity after it moved away from the Reunion hotspot.
