Explanation
The Indo-Gangetic plain types match as: Bhabar (the porous piedmont zone) = gravels (A-3); Bhangar (older alluvium with calcareous kankar nodules) = kankar (B-4); Khadar (newer, fertile alluvium) = silt (C-2); and the delta region, with its marshy, waterlogged tracts = marsh (D-1). This gives A-3, B-4, C-2, D-1 — option B.
