Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Answer: B
The suffix 'sar' reflects the availability of water.
In western Rajasthan sar means a pond, lake or water source, from the Sanskrit sarovar. In the desert districts of Bikaner, Jaisalmer and their neighbours, settlements grew where water could be found or stored, so many village names end in -sar, such as Lunkaransar.
The suffix has no link to jungles, occupations or city gates, which explains why it is concentrated in the arid zone where water decided where people could live.
