Which option gives the correct difference between foothill belt and soil belt of the Northern Plains?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Bhabar is a pebbly foothill belt and Khadar is new flood alluvium

The direct answer is A: Bhabar is a pebbly foothill belt, while Khadar is new flood alluvium. Bhabar is identified mainly by location and material. It lies along the Himalayan foothills and contains coarse pebbles, gravel and boulders deposited by streams; much water may sink through the porous surface. Khadar is identified mainly by soil age and river renewal. It consists of newer alluvial deposits in lower floodplain areas and is regularly renewed by floods. Option A correctly keeps these two ideas separate: Bhabar is a foothill belt, and Khadar is a soil belt. Option B reverses both definitions, so it is wrong. Option C is wrong because the marshy belt south of Bhabar is Terai, not Bhabar, and Khadar is not a Dun valley. Option D is entirely unrelated: neither is a coral island or sea. The common mistake is to treat every Northern Plain term as the same kind of division. Remember: Bhabar tells location and coarse pebbles; Khadar tells new flood alluvium.
