Bhangar is considered what type of alluvial soil?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Old alluvium

Alluvial soil is deposited by rivers. Over time, older deposits remain on higher terraces and are called Bhangar, while newer deposits in lower floodplains are called Khadar. Therefore, Bhangar is classified as old alluvium, making option C correct. Bhangar is generally less frequently renewed by floods than Khadar, and it may contain calcareous nodules called kankar. These features help distinguish it from the newer, more regularly replenished alluvium.

The other choices do not fit the origin of Bhangar. Marine soil forms under marine influence, and lava soil develops from volcanic rock. “New alluvium” describes Khadar rather than Bhangar. Thus the useful pair to remember is Bhangar—old alluvium and Khadar—new alluvium. The question asks only for the broad soil category, so the direct answer is old alluvium, option C.
