• D. If A is wrong and R is true.

Answer 1

The correct option is A If A and R both are true and R is correct explanation of A.

Sandy areas have a wide range of temperature. The reason is that sandy soil gets heated up more quickly than clayey soil. For this reason, in the sandy tracts of places like Rajasthan, it is warmer by the day and cooler by night. That makes a huge difference between the temperatures of day and night in deserts, nearly 15 to 20 degree celsius.
