Answer the following questions by selecting the correct/most appropriate option.

Consider the following statements A and B:
Statement A: In Manali, houses are constructed with wood, slanting roofs and elevated on strong bamboo pillars.
Statement B: Manali receives a lot of rain and snowfall.
Choose the correct option:

Correct option is B

Statement A is incorrect because, while houses in Manali do have slanting roofs and are often made of wood, they are not typically elevated on bamboo pillars. Bamboo is not a primary construction material in the region. Statement B is correct as Manali experiences significant rainfall and snowfall due to its location in the Himalayan region, which leads to a cold and wet climate, especially during winter.
