Question

which part of the indian subcontinent is part of the arid plateau that today includes the modern state of pakistan?

○ the ganges river
○ the indus river valley
○ the deccan plateau
○ the karakoram range

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• The Ganges River is in India, not part of Pakistan's arid plateau.
• The Indus River Valley is in the arid region of Pakistan (modern - day). The Indus River flows through Pakistan, and its valley is part of the arid plateau area that is now part of Pakistan.
• The Deccan plateau is in southern India, not in Pakistan.
• The Karakoram range is a mountain range, not a plateau, and while it is in the region, it is not the arid plateau part of the Indian subcontinent that is now Pakistan.

Answer:

B. The Indus River Valley
