Solution
The correct option is D Odisha and West Bengal
The physiography and climate should be conducive for a population to thrive there. The Himalayas and the Northeastern regions of India are not favourites for human settlements because of climatic conditions and uneven terrain.
On the other hand, areas which have fertile soil are conducive to agriculture, like the Northern plains, as well as the eastern and western coastal plains. So, a lot more people tend to prefer living in such places.
There are areas which provide minerals and power resources, like the state of Odisha and West Bengal. Availability of such minerals leads to industrialisation.
