Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
The Sundarbans Plains are located in the southern part of West Bengal.

This region is part of the largest tidal halophytic mangrove forest in the world and is shared between India and Bangladesh.

The Sundarbans in West Bengal cover the districts of South 24 Parganas and North 24 Parganas.

It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to the famous Royal Bengal Tiger.

Due to its location along the Bay of Bengal, the Sundarbans are influenced by tidal waves, estuarine systems, and dense mangrove forests.

Thus, the Sundarbans Plains lie in the southern part of West Bengal.
