A) Only I is correct
B) Only II is correct
C) Both I and II are correct
D) Neither nor II is correct
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
There is high concentration of Scheduled Castes (and not Scheduled Tribes) in the Indo-Gangetic Plains. These plains are composed of rich alluvial soil. Water supply, suitable climate and weather provide opportunities for agricultural labourers to settle in the alluvial plains. Consequently, the Indo- Gangetic Plains are the zones of high concentration of scheduled castes who are primarily agricultural labourers. Scheduled Tribes (and not Scheduled Castes) have a tendency to live in hilly and forest trades and in other remote areas.
