The lowest relief area in Central Aravali is -

Correct option is A

Ans. (a)
The Central Aravalli Range is known for its varied topography, including high peaks, plateaus, and low-lying areas. The Sambhar Area, located in Rajasthan, is the lowest relief area in the Central Aravalli Range. It is home to Sambhar Lake, India's largest inland saltwater lake, which lies in a depression formed by tectonic activities.
The Aravalli Range is one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world, and its central portion consists of several plateaus and valleys. Among them, Sambhar Area stands out as the lowest relief zone due to its low elevation and vast salt flats.
