What correct conclusion follows from kankar deposits in Bhangar?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is an older alluvial part

Bhangar is the older alluvial surface of the Northern Plains. It was formed by river deposits in an earlier period and generally lies above the newer floodplain. Kankar, or concentrated calcareous nodules, is commonly found in these older deposits. Thus, the presence of kankar supports the conclusion that the area belongs to the old alluvial formation, not the recently renewed floodplain.

Khadar is the newer alluvium deposited by rivers during relatively recent floods, while Bhangar is older and often contains kankar layers. Therefore option A is correct. The other choices describe a volcanic island, a coral coast, or a different physical origin; none explains kankar in the context of the Indo-Gangetic alluvial plains.
