Question

1. India has various climatic features found in entire South Asia.
2. India has a vast latitudinal extent and has all the topographic features found in all the countries.

Options

• (B) contradicts (A).

• (B) is the reason for (A).

• (A) is true but (B) is false.

• (A) and (B) are independent of each other.

Answer 1

(B) is the reason for (A).

Explanation:

Statement (A) is correct because India has a wide range of climates, from tropical heat to alpine cold, which reflect the different weather patterns found throughout South Asia. Statement (B) provides a direct geographical explanation for this diversity, as India's vast latitudinal range, paired with its diverse landforms (such as deserts, plains, and high mountain ranges), naturally generates all of these different climate zones.
