The correct answer is option 4, Western Ghats. The Western Ghats is a continuous chain of mountains that runs parallel to the western coast of India. It is one of the longest mountain ranges in the world, stretching over 1,600 kilometers. The Western Ghats are known for their lush green forests, rich biodiversity, and numerous waterfalls. They act as a barrier and receive heavy rainfall from the southwest monsoon, making them an important source of water for the rivers that flow towards the eastern coast of India. The Eastern Ghats, mentioned in option 3, are also a mountain range but they run parallel to the eastern coast of India. The Aravalli and Satpura ranges mentioned in options 1 and 2, respectively, are not parallel to the coastline of India.
