Solution

The correct options are
A Relief features of the region
B Distance of the region from the sea
D Altitude of the region
The factors that affect the climate of a place are location, altitude, distance from the sea, and relief features. This explains the regional differences in the climate of India. Kargil, which is in the union territory of Ladakh is freezing cold because of its altitude and relief feature. It lies in the Himalayan range while Jaisalmer lies in the desert region of Rajasthan.
