Answer:

The correct option is -

a. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

Explanation:

Assertion (A)

The climate is arid and vegetation is scanty in the Indian Desert.

• Scanty type of vegetation is mainly found in areas where annual rainfall is less than 30 cm. It consists of open scrub forests with trees and shrubs widely scattered across the region. The vegetation of a region usually depends on two factors, one is the climate and the other is the soil.

Reason (R)

This region gets scanty rainfall which is less than 150 mm in a year.

• The Indian Desert lies northwest of the Aravali Hills and is the Great Indian Desert. This region receives little rainfall below 150 mm per year. Hence, it has an arid climate with little vegetation cover. Because of these characteristic features, this is also referred to as Marusthali.
