Areas prone to frequent flooding in Assam are located mainly in:

Upper Assam
Lower Assam
Hilly Regions
Along state borders

The correct answer is: a) Upper Assam

Upper Assam is the most flood-prone region in Assam. The Brahmaputra River, which flows through the region, is prone to flooding during the monsoon season. The floods can cause widespread damage to crops, infrastructure, and homes.

Lower Assam is also prone to flooding, but to a lesser extent than Upper Assam. The Brahmaputra River also flows through Lower Assam, but the floods are not as severe as in Upper Assam.

The hilly regions of Assam are not as prone to flooding as the plains. However, the hilly regions are prone to landslides, which can also cause widespread damage.

Along state borders is not a correct answer. The areas along state borders are not more prone to flooding than other areas in Assam.
