A
The Deccan Plateau rises slightly every year
💡 Explanation:
The Deccan Plateau is located in southern India, far from the Himalayan plate boundary, so tectonic activity in the north does not affect it. In contrast, the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates causes Mount Everest to rise and triggers frequent earthquakes and landslides in the Himalayan region.
