Explanation:

Answer 2

The right response to the given question is option c: Melting of snow.

• Ladakh is a region in northern India where the temperature stays low for most of the year.
• Although it is a desert location, it is bordered by mountains that are covered in snow.
• Because there is no rain in this area, people have trouble collecting drinking water from this source.
• When the temperature rises in the summer, the snow on the mountains melts and pools in the river bodies.
• The people then collect this water, filter it suitably, and use it for drinking.
• This is the location in India where people get their drinking water from melting snow.
