Which option gives a correct match?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Bhangar old alluvium
Bhangar is the older alluvium of the Northern Plains. It generally occurs above the active floodplains and may contain layers of kankar (calcareous nodules), so option C is correct. Terai is a wet, marshy belt, whereas Bhabar is the porous pebble-and-boulder belt south of the Shiwaliks. Khadar is new alluvium, not marine coral soil. Exam tip: remember Bhangar as old alluvium and Khadar as new alluvium.
