The most flood-prone state of India is -

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Bihar. Bihar is the most flood-prone state in India, with over 76% of its population in the northern region living under the recurring threat of floods. The primary reason for this is the state's location in the Ganga Basin, combined with rivers like the Kosi, Gandak, Bagmati, and Mahananda, which frequently overflow during the monsoon season. The Kosi River, often referred to as the "Sorrow of Bihar," is notorious for its devastating floods.
