In which agro-climatic region of Bihar are the maximum number of districts located?

Correct answer: (b) North-West

Explanation

Bihar falls in Agro-Climatic Region IV, known as the Middle Gangetic Plains Region. On the basis of soil characteristics, rainfall, temperature, and physiography, Bihar is divided into three sub-regions: North-East alluvial plains, North-West alluvial plains, and South Bihar alluvial plains. The South Bihar alluvial plains are further classified into South-East (A) and South-West (B). The North-West zone includes a total of 12 districts, while the North-East zone includes 8 districts. The South Bihar alluvial plains zone has 17 districts, out of which 6 are in the South-East zone (A) and 11 are in the South-West zone (B). Thus, it is clear that the maximum number of districts are included in the North-West zone.
