Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

The Northern Plains of India are classified into distinct physiographic regions based on relief and soil characteristics. Bhabar is a narrow belt at the foothills of the Shiwaliks composed of gravels and unassorted sediments where streams often disappear due to high porosity [4]. Bhangar represents the older alluvial upland tracts above flood levels, characterized by the presence of 'Kankar' or impure calcium carbonate concretions [4]. Khadar consists of newer alluvium deposited annually in floodplains, primarily composed of fine silt, clay, and sand [5]. The Deltaic plain is an extension of Khadar in the lower reaches of rivers like the Ganga, characterized by sluggish water flow and the presence of marshy areas known as 'Bils' [2]. Therefore, the correct matching is A-3, B-4, C-2, and D-1.
