Explanation:

- In Andhra Pradesh, low rainfall and increased reliance on borewells have led to soil aridity. This highlights the issue of water scarcity and its impact on soil quality.

- In Himachal Pradesh, reduced snow and more rainfall has exacerbated the desertification crisis. This indicates changing weather patterns affecting land conditions.

- Correct Answer: On the other hand, in Rajasthan, canals, tube-well irrigation, and shelterbelts have contributed to an increase in the green cover. The phrase "on the other hand" is commonly used to present a contrast between two different situations.

- Option 1, "half," and Option 3, "sides," do not fit the context of contrasting scenarios. Option 4, "case," is not appropriate as it doesn't provide the subtle comparison intended in the passage.
