If an option calls Bhangar the area of new deposits every flood year, what is the correction?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: This is a feature of Khadar, Bhangar is old alluvial land

Bhangar and Khadar are two types of alluvial deposits in the Northern Plains. Bhangar is the older alluvium. It lies above the level of regular floods and may contain calcareous formations called kankar. Khadar is the newer alluvium deposited by rivers during more recent floods, so its soil is renewed more frequently and is often very fertile.

Thus, option A gives the necessary correction. The statement about new deposits brought by every flood describes Khadar, not Bhangar, while Bhangar must be identified as old alluvial land. Options B and C confuse these terms with Bhabar, Terai, coral, or the sea. Option D cannot be accepted because the original statement reverses the defining age and deposition difference between Bhangar and Khadar.
