Answer 1

The correct option is C It extends in the form of a narrow and long belt along the entire length of the Shiwalik Hills.

The Shiwalik Hills degrade into a dissected, rolling, porous, and coarse grain material formed upland called the Kandi. It is a sub-mountainous region and forms parts of the districts of Gurdaspur, Hoshiarpur, Nawanshahr, and Ropar. The Kandi region in Punjab is known by different names in different places. In the regions near Anandpur Sahib, it is known as 'Changar'. In the regions near Sirsa river, it is known as 'Ghar'.
