Detailed explanation-1: -Thar Desert, also called Great Indian Desert, arid region of rolling sand hills on the Indian subcontinent. It is located partly in Rajasthan state, northwestern India, and partly in Punjab and Sindh (Sind) provinces, eastern Pakistan. The Thar Desert covers some 77, 000 square miles (200, 000 square km) of territory.
Detailed explanation-2: -The flagship species of the Thar Desert ecoregion is the caracal. This ecoregion lies to the west of the Aravalli Mountain Range in the northwestern Indian States of Gujarat, Rajasthan, extending across the border to the Punjab and Sind regions of Pakistan. It is considered to be the 9th largest subtropical desert.
Detailed explanation-3: -The correct option is C. The explanation for the correct option: Desert is that biome where there is very little rainfall. It can be hot like the Sahara desert and Thar desert or can be cold like Antarctica or Ladakh.
Detailed explanation-4: -For example: Thar Desert in India is formed due to the formation of rain-shadow zone because Aravallis mountains are situated parallel to the region. Therefore the moisture holding winds pass away from the region because there is absence of mountain barriers.
