The correct option is a. natural lake that is dry for long periods of time.

<h3>What is playa?</h3>

Playas are flat-bottomed depressions that are sometimes surrounded by water which it slowly seeps into the groundwater system or vaporizes into the atmosphere. As a result, salt, sand, and mud are deposited along the depression's bottom and around its edges.

Some key feature of playa are-

  • Playas are also known as pans, flats, or dry lakes.
  • They are typically found in inner desert watersheds and close to coasts in arid and semi-arid regions.
  • The flattest recorded landforms are playas. Typically, their gradients are less than 0.2 meters per kilometer.
  • Many kilometers of surface may be submerged when only a few centimeters of water are added.
  • The nearly flawless flatness that is so distinctive of these dry region landforms is developed and maintained by the process of flooding.
  • The middle, level basins of arid plains are called playas. They need drainage from the inside to a place where evaporation far outweighs intake.
  • A playa lake arises when the area is inundated, concentrating salts and fine-grained debris.
  • Playa terminology is somewhat confusing due to the abundance of regional names.

The partition of India is the split of India and the creation of Pakistan, splitting the border, which was made by Radcliffe Line, who disregarded any ethnic or religious differences along the border. This occurred right before the British stepped out of control of India. It occurred because of religious conflict between Hindus and Muslims in India, because of the tension created by the Muslim Mughal Empire. Gandhi opposed the partition.
