Why does the marshy nature of Terai develop compared with Bhabar?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Groundwater reappears near the surface in Terai

The direct answer is A: groundwater reappears near the surface in Terai. In the Bhabar belt, coarse pebbles and porous material allow streams descending from the Himalayas to sink underground. Further south, the Terai has finer, less porous sediments, so this underground water rises or comes close to the surface. The result is a wet, marshy region with abundant moisture. A is correct and explains the Bhabar-to-Terai sequence. B is wrong because basaltic lava is not responsible for Terai’s marshiness. C is wrong because coral reefs are marine formations and do not explain this Himalayan foothill belt. D is wrong because permanent glaciers are found at high elevations, not in the low Terai plain. Memory cue: Bhabar absorbs water; Terai brings it back near the surface.
