The Ganga-Brahmaputra basin is a high earthquake risk area and experts warn that as many as a million deaths could be expected on the Ganges and Brahmaputra plain, as the southern flank of the Himalayas has not been active enough over past centuries to release the energy accumulated by the millimetre per week upward movement of the Indian plate.

It is because the the northern movement of India plate is restricted by eurasia plate creating a high energy spot which releases its energy in earthquake form.

The pacific belt is high sick earthquake area in the world.

Northern plane is lying over the convergence of Indian and Eurasian plate and consistent plate movement accumulates energy and makes the region most vulnerable to earthquake.

Recall the devastating earthquake of 2006 in Kashmir region of both India and Pakistan.

I think Deccan plateau is the correct answer.
