What is the most scientific reason for calling Khadar an active floodplain?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Fresh alluvium is repeatedly deposited here during floods
Khadar is the lower, actively flooded part of a river’s floodplain. During floods, the river repeatedly deposits fresh alluvium such as silt and sand there, so it is called an active floodplain. Option B describes Bhangar, which consists of older alluvium and lies relatively higher. Exam tip: Khadar means new alluvium and frequent flooding; Bhangar means old alluvium and relatively higher land.
