The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The Western coast of India has the Konkan, Kanara and Malabar coasts. The Eastern coastal plain, lying between the Eastern Ghats and the Bay of Bengal, is divided into the Northern Circars and the Coromandel Coast.
The Eastern coast of India is therefore commonly called the Coromandel Coast. Konkan Coast is on the west, and the Bay of Bengal is a water body, not a coast.
