Why is Terai considered wetter than Bhabar?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because water that sinks in Bhabar reappears near the surface in Terai

Bhabar is a narrow belt along the Himalayan foothills where coarse pebbles and gravel allow streams to sink underground. As these streams move southward into the finer, less porous sediments of the Terai, the water rises again close to or at the surface. This creates a wet, marshy belt with higher soil moisture and, historically, dense natural vegetation. Therefore, Terai is wetter than Bhabar.

Option A correctly describes this underground water movement. The other options wrongly identify Terai as a sea area, Deccan lava land, or coral island; these do not explain the Bhabar–Terai relationship. The important sequence is that water disappears into the porous Bhabar and re-emerges in the Terai. Hence, option A follows directly from the drainage and sediment characteristics of the two belts.
