Correct option is A
The correct answer is (a).
Explanation
The cold desert of Leh is located at a very high altitude in the Himalayan region, far above sea level. Due to its location in the rain shadow area of the Himalayas, it receives very little rainfall and remains extremely dry. The terrain is not uniformly slopey or flat; hence only statements {A} and {B} are correct.
Additional Information
• Option {b} is incorrect because the region is not entirely slopey. • Option {c} is incorrect because large flat plains are not a characteristic feature of Leh. • Option {d} is incorrect because high altitude is a defining feature and cannot be excluded.
