The Kali (Kalinadi) in Karnataka is a west-flowing river that rises in the Western Ghats and empties into the Arabian Sea, so Assertion is false. The Deccan Plateau is indeed higher along the Western Ghats and tilts gently eastwards toward the Bay of Bengal, so the Reason is true. Therefore option (d) is correct (A false, R true).
