Correct answer and explanation
Correct answer: North 24 Parganas and South 24 Parganas
Explanation: The correct answer is C. North 24 Parganas and South 24 Parganas. The active delta of the Ganga in India lies in the eastern part of the deltaic region, primarily covering North and South 24 Parganas districts of West Bengal. This area forms the lower Ganga delta, which is still undergoing regular sediment deposition, river branching, and landform changes, making it geomorphologically active. North 24 Parganas and South 24 Parganas together form the active part of the Ganga delta in India.
