Solution

The correct option is D A is false but R is true.
The state of Punjab receives heavy rainfall throughout the year because the Himalayan mountains obstruct the rain-bearing winds, and causes heavy rain in the region. This greatly benefits agriculture as the rain-fed rivers in Punjab make the land very fertile and suitable for agriculture. If the Himalayas did not exist, Punjab would be a cold and barren region that would not be suitable for agriculture.
