Peninsular is the oldest part of Indian physiography.
& North Indian plane is the youngest, Aravalis located in Rajasthan plain of NIP, How can it be oldest.
The North Indian plane is the youngest part of the Indian geographical part, Basically it is a lower area between peninsular plateu and Himalayas which is formed by depositional activity of the himalayan rivers.

During formation of Indian subcontinent the atavalli, chota Nagpur and dharwad plateaus are old and stable consisted with different forms of rocks nd their deposits. But initially the sedimentary rocks and their deposits are found in dharwad at major amount as compared to these both. Hence Dharwad is correct.

Precambrian a considerable area of peninsular India, the Indian Shield, consists of Archean gneisses and schists which are the oldest rocks found in India. The Precambrian rocks of India have been classified into two systems, namely the Dharwar system and the Archaean system.

If you look at the geological sequence of the rock layers you will find Archaean system as oldest, then Dharwar system. In Aravali range both types are seen. That's why I think answer should be option B, Aravali range.

Since, Aravalis are the oldest mountain system in India (and in fact the world's oldest mountain range) , then how come the oldest rocks reported from Dharwar ?

Aravalli is the ancient range not only India but also most popular in the world. So the answer should be Aravalli.
