Solution

The correct option is A High
Zaskar range, located in the northern part of the Great Himalayan Range, bifurcates the Ladakh and Zaskar region. Thus, the range forms a climatic barrier between these regions. It does not allow the monsoon winds to reach North-eastern Ladakh eventually retaining a majority of the rainfall.
