Solution
The correct option is A City A
Forests are natural absorbers of rain water. So greater forest cover implies less probability of floods. Rajasthan lies in the great Thar desert and has very less forest cover. Thus, absorption of rain water will be very less and slow in city A. Hence, city A is most likely to get flooded.
