A.Diverse climatic conditions
B. Better transport facilities
C. Both A and B
D. None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: India has varied weather conditions across from North to South and East to West.
Uniform clothing is not practically possible as different climates will require a different type of clothing.
Clothing in India is not just associated with climate but with cultural values as well.

Complete answer:
India has diverse climatic conditions. Rajasthan, Gujarat, and few parts of Punjab experience scorching summer with the temperature hitting 50°C every summer. At the same time Ladakh, Jammu, and Kashmir, certain Northeastern states hit a maximum of 20°C in summer. The entire situation reverses in the winter. Taking into consideration the southern and coastal states, they experience summer and winter at intermediate temperatures.

So, everyone can't wear the same clothes across the country. The people in northwestern India would wear cotton clothes, people in the Northernmost part will prefer woolen clothes. Hence, the climate plays a factor.

Better transport facilities give economic as well as social benefits. For example, more employment opportunities, expanding the market, promoting Tourism, Growth in Foreign Trade, reduction in scarcity, a higher standard of living, the relationship between villages and cities. So, better transport facilities have helped with the usage of clothes in all parts of the country.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C)

Note: The cultural values are upheld in every state by wearing their traditional outfits. It inculcates the national emotion, educates the people about their culture, and to keep it continuing generations ahead.
The diverse set of clothing in India is a great example of the concept of Unity in Diversity.
