Solution

The correct option is A Desert region

रेगिस्तानी क्षेत्र
Marusthali is sand-dune-covered eastern portion of the Great Indian Thar Desert in western Rajasthan state, northwestern India. It extends over about 24,000 square miles, north of the Luni River. The Aravalli Range, the area’s most striking feature, defines the Marusthali’s eastern limits. The sand dunes in the region’s northern half are ridges of densely packed, coarse sand. Short, discontinuous sand levees strike northeast-southwest on a plateau, enclosing small playas between them. The southern half of the Marusthali forms a vast bowl, rimmed by flat-topped hills of sand, rocks, and limestone. Scattered shrubs of spurge and acacia survive in the region. The Luni River, its channels often obliterated by windblown sand, is the major river and forms the southern boundary of the Marusthali. The soils are mostly loamy sands.

Livestock raising and dry-desert and irrigated farming are the principal occupations of the Marusthali’s inhabitants. Cereal grains, gram, cotton, sugarcane, peanuts, and oilseeds are grown, though the local agriculture is hampered by frequent locust invasions.

मरुस्थली पश्चिमी राजस्थान राज्य, पश्चिमोत्तर भारत में ग्रेट इंडियन थार रेगिस्तान का रेत से ढका पूर्वी भाग है।यह लुनी नदी के उत्तर में लगभग 24,000 वर्ग मील में फैला हुआ है।क्षेत्र की सबसे महत्वपूर्ण विशेषता अरावली रेंज, मरुस्थली पूर्वी सीमाओं को परिभाषित करती है।इस क्षेत्र के उत्तरी आधे भाग में रेत के टीले घनी बँधी हुई, मोटे बालू की लकीरें हैं।

मरुस्थली निवासियों के लिए पशुधन और सूखा-रेगिस्तानी और सिंचित खेती प्रमुख व्यवसाय हैं। अनाज, चना, कपास, गन्ना, मूंगफली, और तिलहन उगाए जाते हैं, हालांकि स्थानीय कृषि में बार-बार टिड्डों के आक्रमण से बाधा आती है।
