Option 1: Coromandel Coast
Option 2: Tamil Nadu coast
Option 3: Utkal coast
Option 4: Malabar Coast
Correct Answer: Malabar Coast
Solution : The correct option is Malabar Coast.
Malabar Coast is not a regional name for the East Coast of India. The term "Malabar Coast" typically refers to the southwestern coast of India, specifically the coastal region along the Arabian Sea in the state of Kerala and some parts of Karnataka.
The East Coast of India, on the other hand, faces the Bay of Bengal and includes states like Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and parts of West Bengal.
