Question

Kerala’s unique topography of coastal plains (A)/ and rolling hills between the Arabian Sea and the Western Ghats (B)/ _____________________________________, (C)/ landslides, flooding and coastal erosion being the most common. (D)/ Incidents of flooding have become frequent, aided by human intervention. (E)

Which of the following phrases best completes the sentence at (C)?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The paragraph describes Kerala's geographical features and the natural hazards it faces.

2. The blank (C) should be filled with a phrase that logically connects the description of Kerala's topography to the mention of common natural hazards such as landslides, flooding, and coastal erosion.

3. Option (b) "is vulnerable to several natural hazards" fits perfectly as it summarizes the vulnerability caused by the unique topography.

4. Other options mention specific statistics or hazards which are not directly relevant or coherent in the context of the sentence.

5. Therefore, option (b) is the most appropriate choice to complete the paragraph meaningfully.

**Answer:** (b) is vulnerable to several natural hazards
