The correct answer is: B. Ladakh
Ladakh is a cold desert region in the Himalayas, located in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. It is one of the highest inhabited regions in the world, with an average elevation of 4,500 meters (14,800 feet). The climate is extremely cold and dry, with an average annual temperature of -2 degrees Celsius (28 degrees Fahrenheit). The region receives very little rainfall, and the only source of water is snowmelt from the mountains.
Ladakh is a sparsely populated region, with a population of just over 200,000 people. The majority of the population is Tibetan Buddhist, and the region is home to a number of monasteries and temples. Ladakh is a popular tourist destination, and is known for its stunning scenery, including the Ladakh Range and the Zanskar Range.

- Kargil is a town in Ladakh.
- Jammu is a city in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir.
