If a region has clues of new alluvium and flood plain, which subdivision is it?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Khadar

The direct answer is D, Khadar. First understand the terms. Alluvium is the soil deposited by rivers. New alluvium is freshly deposited during recent floods, and a flood plain is the flat land beside a river that may be flooded. Khadar is the newer, lower alluvial deposit and is renewed by floods. A, Bhabar, is a porous belt near the Himalayan foothills where streams often disappear into pebbles; it is not the new flood deposit. B, Terai, lies south of Bhabar and is marshy because underground streams reappear, but the clue specifically asks for new alluvium and flood plains. C, Bhangar, is the older alluvial terrace, usually above the active flood level, so it is not the best answer. D fits both clues exactly: new river deposits and active flood plains. Memory cue: Khadar means newer alluvium; Bhangar means older alluvium.
