The clues cold desert, high plateau, and rain-shadow point to which region?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Ladakh Plateau

The governing concept is the identification of a physiographic region from its climate and elevation. The Ladakh Plateau lies in the Trans-Himalayan zone at very high altitude. It is a cold desert because low temperatures limit evaporation and vegetation, while the surrounding mountain ranges block much of the south-west monsoon. This rain-shadow position produces very low precipitation and dry landscapes. Therefore option A is correct. The Meghalaya Plateau is humid and receives heavy monsoon rainfall, so it is not a cold desert. The Malwa and Karnataka plateaus are peninsular regions with warmer seasonal conditions and do not combine all three clues—high-altitude cold desert, plateau setting and strong Trans-Himalayan rain shadow.
