Which of the following best describes the climate of the Thar Desert region in India?
Options
Option A
Hot and humid
Option B
Cold and dry
Option C is correct
Hot and dry
Option D
Moderate with heavy rainfall
Explanation
The Thar Desert, located in western Rajasthan, is known for its arid climate. This region experiences extremely high temperatures during the summer months and receives very little rainfall throughout the year, making it hot and dry. The air humidity is also very low. Other options like 'hot and humid' or 'moderate with heavy rainfall' are characteristic of different climatic zones in India, not the desert.
