A.D. Taylor conceived the idea of shipping canal between India and Srilanka. The project was proposed by AD Taylor, a Britisher in the Indian Marine in 1860. Sethusamudram Ship Channel Project envisages dredging of a ship channel 44.9 nautical mile long across the Palk Straits between India and Sri Lanka.
Two channels will be created - one across Adam's Bridge (the chain of islets and shallows linking India with Sri Lanka), south-east of Pamban Island and another through the shallows of Palk Bay, deepening| the Palk Straits. The total length of these two channels would be 89 km.

The term 'Analogue Photography' refers to photography using an analogue camera and film. A roll of film is loaded into the camera and the magic begins once you start clicking: light interacts with the chemicals in the film and an image is recorded. A digital image is formed by the small bits of data i.e. pixels, which are stored in computers.
When we capture an image in our digital camera in presence of light then this camera works like a digital sensor and converts it into digital signals on identically pixels. So we can manifest that Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.

Presently, Buddhism is the dominant religion in Bhutan, Myanmar, Cambodia, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, Tibet, Laos, Macau, Mongolia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Large Buddhist populations live in North Korea, Nepal, India and South Korea.
Buddhism is one of the largest religions in the world. It originated in India and is based around the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, also known as Gautama Buddha or simply Buddha, who lived in India roughly from 563 BCE to 480 ВСE.

Sudden onset of rain refers to the mature stage of a thunderstorm. A thunderstorm is a rain shower during which you hear thunder. Since thunder comes from lightning, all thunderstorms have lightning.

Vorticity may be generated within a flow wherever there is an unbalanced torque on fluid elements, such as when pressure and density gradients are misaligned.
The characteristics and geometry of a vortex line allow the velocity it induces at a distant location to be determined.
Thus, multiple vortex lines that are free to move within a fluid may interact with each other. In a rotating coordinate frame, the observed vorticity depends or the frame's rotation rate. Vorticity is any twisting motion in the troposphere.
Positive vorticity can be broken down into three components, which are positive shear vorticity, positive curvature vorticity and earth vorticity. A counterclockwise spin in the Northern Hemisphere will produce positive vorticity. It is important to mention here that Vorticity consists Rotation and angular velocity.

Downdraft- downdraft of winds characterised at the advancing end of thunderstorm due to which their prevails anticyclone condition (warm & dry situation) which is also the indicator thunderstorm coming.
Rain:- In the mature stage of thunderstorm cell the precipitation occur because of sudden updraft of winds.
Storm travel:- It is just the indication of advancing of storm from new to high pressure centre.
Anvil top :- It is the roof of thunderstorm & sometimes lightening occurs on the advancing portion of thunderstorm which we also called as Anvil lightning.

Fishes are renewable resource. Renewable resources are those that keep replenishing themselves. For example, chickens and fishes are renewable resources because they continue to repopulate. Plants are also renewable resources.

Place (landscape, region), Anthropocentricism (studies focusing on man), subjectivity (considering every individual as a distinct org.) is a key concept in humanistic geography. Much humanistic writing is devoted to illustrating and clarifying space. From a humanistic perspective, the meaning of a place (landscape, region) is inseparable from the consciousness of those (men) who inhabit it. The main propagator of humanistic geography wereHarris, Guelke, Ley and Samuels, Yi-fu Tuan, Edward Relph, Anne Buttimer, David Ley, and Nicholas Entrikin etc.

Option (d) is the correct answer.
