What is the ground like in the Bhabar region?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pebbly and porous

The direct answer is A, pebbly and porous. Bhabar is a narrow belt along the Himalayan foothills, formed by coarse sediments such as pebbles, gravel and stones brought down by rivers. The spaces between these coarse particles allow water to pass downward, so many streams disappear underground when they enter this belt. The reasoning is: coarse pebble deposits → many gaps between particles → water infiltrates easily → porous ground. Option A is correct. Option B, saline and marshy, describes the Terai more closely in this comparison, not the dry, porous Bhabar belt. Option C, made of coral, describes certain marine islands such as Lakshadweep, not a Himalayan foothill deposit. Option D, black and clayey, is not the characteristic material of Bhabar; clay is much less porous than loose pebbles and gravel. Do not confuse Bhabar with Terai: water sinks in porous Bhabar, while it reappears and creates wet conditions in the Terai. Memory cue: Bhabar = boulders, gaps and disappearing streams.
