Which comparative clue best explains the decreasing width of the Himalayas from west to east?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Width is greater in Kashmir and lower in Arunachal

The direct answer is A. The Himalayas do not have the same width everywhere. Their general width decreases from west to east. Kashmir represents the wider western part, while Arunachal Pradesh represents a narrower eastern part. A states this comparison in the correct direction. B reverses the pattern, so it is wrong. C is wrong because mountain belts naturally vary in width and the textbook description specifically notes a west-to-east decrease. D is unrelated and false: the Himalayas are a continental mountain system, not a range found only on sea islands. To reason quickly, first identify the direction named in the question: west to east means compare a western example, Kashmir, with an eastern example, Arunachal. Then apply the stated trend: decreasing means the eastern value is smaller. Memory cue: Kashmir wider, Arunachal narrower.
