Yak is considered an important animal of which region?

Correct answer: High cold Himalayas

Direct answer: Option C is correct. The yak is a hardy, long-haired bovine adapted to very cold, high-altitude environments. Its thick coat helps it retain body heat, and its body is suited to the thin air and difficult conditions of the Himalayas. Option A, coastal delta, is wrong because deltas are low, wet, and generally warmer, not the typical habitat of yaks. Option B, Thar Desert, is wrong because the desert is hot and dry, while yaks are associated with cold mountains. Option C is correct because high, cold Himalayan regions provide the natural environment connected with yaks. Option D, mangrove marsh, is wrong because mangroves grow in salty coastal wetlands and do not provide the cold mountain habitat yaks need. Exam cue: yak, snow, high mountains, and Himalayas belong together.
