Correct Answer: Ganga-Brahmaputra Valley
Solution : The correct answer is Ganga-Brahmaputra Valley.
Ganga-Brahmaputra Valley is the choice most likely to experience earthquakes out of all of the possibilities provided because of its proximity to the Himalayan foothills. According to the most recent version of India's seismic zone map (2002), the country's earthquake-prone regions are divided into four zones (II, III, IV, and V), based on the intensity of previous earthquakes.
