On what basis are Karakoram, Ladakh, and Zanskar considered Trans-Himalayan?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They are linked with high dry mountain regions beyond the Himalayas

The governing concept is the regional classification of mountain ranges according to their position relative to the main Himalaya. The Trans-Himalaya lies north of or beyond the main Himalayan ranges and includes high, rugged, generally cold and dry mountain systems such as the Karakoram, Ladakh, and Zanskar. Their rain-shadow setting and great elevation help explain the sparse vegetation and arid landscapes found in much of the region. Option A is correct because it identifies both their location beyond the main Himalaya and their high, dry character. Options B, C, and D refer respectively to coastal depositional landforms, a soil type of the Deccan, and a different mountain system in peninsular India.
