Q1As per Koppen's climatic classification, in which districts of Rajasthan is steppe climate found?

A Jaisalmer and Bikaner
B Ganganagar and Hanumangarh
C Barmer, Jalore and Jodhpur
D Jaipur, Dausa and Tonk
Explanation

In Koppen's classification for Rajasthan, the steppe or semi-arid climate is associated with the western belt around Barmer, Jalore and Jodhpur. This zone is drier than the central and eastern districts but less extremely arid than the true desert core. Jaisalmer and Bikaner are more closely linked with the hot desert climate. Ganganagar and Hanumangarh form the northern irrigated desert fringe and are not the listed steppe group here. Jaipur, Dausa and Tonk lie farther east, where semi-arid to sub-humid influences increase.
