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.

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.

Aravali mountains are the ancient mountains in India. While himalayan range is the recent mountain in India.
