Which statement is most correct for identifying Bhabar?

Correct answer: Pebbly narrow belt at the foothills of Shiwalik

The direct answer is A. Bhabar is a narrow, pebbly and porous belt along the foothills of the Shiwalik range. Streams descending from the mountains often disappear into the coarse gravel and stones of this belt. Option A is correct because it gives both important clues: Shiwalik foothills and pebbles. Option B describes Terai, the wetter marshy belt south of Bhabar, where underground streams reappear. Option C describes Khadar, the newer alluvium deposited by recent floods. Option D describes Bangar, older alluvium that commonly contains kankar. Thus A is the only matching option. Memory cue: Bhabar has boulders and disappearing streams; Terai is wet and marshy.
