Why did agriculture and settlements develop more in alluvial plains of Himalayan rivers?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because fertile soil and water availability are found there

Direct answer: A, because fertile soil and water availability are found there. Himalayan rivers carry weathered rock particles and deposit them across plains during floods and seasonal flow. These alluvial deposits are generally rich in minerals and form relatively level land that is easier to cultivate and build on. The rivers also provide water for drinking, irrigation and other activities. Therefore agriculture and settlements become concentrated there, although floods can also create risk. B is wrong because permanent lava is not the basis of these plains. C is wrong because the fields are on land, not inside the sea. D is wrong because rivers do flow through and nourish these plains. Memory cue: alluvial plain means level land, fertile silt and accessible water.
