Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The outer plains are traversed by numerous hill streams known as Khad. These Khads remain dry most of the year, but in rainy season these streams turn into huge gushing rivers. Here we find weed growth, locally known as Khar or Elephantine Grass. This region stretches in the Southern parts of Akhnoor, Ranbir Singh Pura (R. S. Pura), Samba and Kathua areas of Jammu and Kashmir. The plains are used for growing rice and wheat crops.
