Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The active deltaic zone of West Bengal consists entirely of thick layers of fine argillaceous silt and clay. While surface clay for brick manufacturing, riverbed sand extraction, and heavy groundwater tapping are widespread local activities, commercial extraction or mining of Natural Gas was historically absent from the active delta plains at the time of this exam's compilation.
