Which of the following is the new alluvium deposited by floods in the Ganga Plain?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Khadar.
The new alluvium deposited by floods in the Ganga Plain is known as "khadar." Khadar refers to the fertile, younger alluvial soil found in river floodplains, which is enriched by nutrient-rich sediments carried by floodwaters. This soil is highly productive and supports intensive agriculture. In contrast, "bhangar" refers to the older, slightly elevated alluvial soil found in the Ganga Plain, which is less fertile compared to khadar.
