The clues cold desert, high plateau, and rain shadow identify which region?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Ladakh Plateau

The correct answer is A, Ladakh Plateau. Ladakh is a high-altitude region in the Trans-Himalayan zone, enclosed by major mountain ranges and lying largely in the rain shadow of the Himalayas. Moisture-bearing monsoon winds lose much of their moisture before reaching this interior area, so precipitation is low and the landscape is arid. Because temperatures remain low at high elevation, Ladakh is described as a cold desert rather than a hot desert. The Meghalaya Plateau is known for heavy rainfall, while the Malwa and Karnataka plateaus are lower peninsular regions with different climates and soils. The combined clues—great elevation, dryness, and cold conditions—therefore point specifically to Ladakh.
