Explanation

The southern plateau of India is geologically part of Gondwanaland, the ancient supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. The peninsular plateau (including the Deccan Plateau) formed part of this landmass before continental drift separated it. The other options are incorrect: Angaraland was the northern landmass (Laurasia), Greenland is a modern island, and "Island" is not a valid landmass name.
