Bii only

CBoth i and ii

DNeither i nor ii

Answer:

A. i only

Read Explanation:

  • Statement (i) is correct

  • "The deposition of alluvium along both the flooded banks may cause the formation of plains. Such plains are called flood plains."

  • This accurately describes how flood plains form through the deposition of sediment along river banks during flooding.

  • Statement (ii) is incorrect because flood plains are actually very significant and are highly suitable for agriculture.

  • In reality, flood plains are among the most fertile agricultural lands in the world due to the regular deposition of nutrient-rich alluvial soil.

  • Many of the world's most productive agricultural regions are located on flood plains, like the Indo-Gangetic plain in South Asia and the Nile River valley.
