Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A In the northern regions of India, people eat more wheat-based dishes.
C In the northern regions of India, people wear thicker clothes.

Climate affects not just the geographical aspects of a region but also the lifestyle of people.

Therefore people of these parts wear thick clothes.
