Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Aravalli range.
The Great Indian Desert, also known as the Thar Desert, is located on the western margin of the Aravalli Mountain Range. The Aravallis stretch across northwestern India, and the Thar Desert lies to the west of these mountains, primarily in the state of Rajasthan. The Aravallis act as a natural barrier, preventing the monsoon winds from reaching the desert, and making the region arid and dry. The Thar Desert is one of the largest deserts in India.
