Answer 1

Answer:

B. Old alluvial soils

The main feature of the Bhangar region in the Northern Plains is old alluvial soils. Old alluvial soil is known as Bhangar and is full of Kankars (lime nodules). The Bhangar is the older alluvium along the river beds forming terraces higher than the floodplain. Bhangar contains fossils of animals like rhinoceros, hippopotamus, elephants, etc. This type of soil is found in mountainous regions.
