Why is the term Doab considered a physical unit and not just a place name?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It denotes alluvial land between two rivers

The word Doab is formed from ideas meaning two and water or river. In physical geography, it identifies the tract of land lying between two rivers, especially where river sediments have accumulated. Such land is commonly alluvial and may be fertile because the rivers deposit fine material over time. Therefore Doab describes a recognizable physical region, not merely an administrative or arbitrary place name.

The Ganga–Yamuna Doab is the familiar example: it is the land between the Ganga and Yamuna rivers. This matches option A because it includes both the position between two rivers and the alluvial character of the land. The alternatives about coral, desert salt, or glacial ice do not express the geographical meaning of Doab.
