Solution

The correct option is B

Western Himalayas


Answer: The correct answer is option (B) – Western Himalayas.

To irrigate fields, inundation channels were built in the flood plains of Bengal. In semi-arid and arid regions, rain fed storage structures were created in the agricultural fields. This allowed them to store water and moisten the soil like the ‘Johads’ and ‘Khadins’ in Rajasthan.
