All the characteristic features provided in the statements is about Bhangar, hence none of the statements are correct with regard to Bhabar.Bhabar is a narrow belt ranging between 8-10 km parallel to the Shiwalik foothills at the break-up of the slope. As a result of this, the streams and rivers coming from the mountains deposit heavy materials of rocks and boulders, and at times, disappear in this zone. It comprises of pebble- studded rocks in the shape of porous beds. Due to porosity of the rocks, the streams disappear and flow underground. This region is not much suitable for agriculture.South of the Bhabar is the Tarai belt and south of Tarai is a belt consisting of old and new alluvial deposits known as the Bhangar and Khadar respectively.
