The Rann of Kutch is best described as
Answer: A
Correct answer: a large seasonal salt marsh
The Rann of Kutch in Gujarat is a vast seasonal salt marsh. It floods with seawater and monsoon runoff between June and October and dries into a hard white salt flat for the rest of the year - one of the largest such expanses in the world. It was a shallow arm of the Arabian Sea in historical times, silted up and cut off, which is why the salt is marine in origin. It is divided into the Great Rann to the north and the Little Rann to the southeast. The Little Rann holds the Wild Ass Sanctuary, the last refuge of the Indian wild ass, and the Great Rann is the only regular breeding ground in India of the greater flamingo. Its seasonal islands, called bets, rise above the flood and carry grass and scrub. The Rann forms part of the international boundary with Pakistan, and Guhar Moti within it is the westernmost point of India.
