Answer:

D. Doab

Read Explanation:

Doab

  • A "Doab" is a geographical term used to describe a region of land that is situated between two rivers.
  • The word "Doab" is of Persian origin, where "do" means "two," and "ab" means "water" or "river." Therefore, "Doab" literally translates to "land of two rivers."
  • Doabs are commonly found in regions where major rivers and their tributaries intersect or flow parallel to each other, creating a fertile and agriculturally productive area.
  • These regions are often characterized by rich alluvial soil deposited by the rivers over time, making them ideal for farming
