B Correct answer
Explanation

India's cold desert (Ladakh) is located to the west of the Pir Panjal Range in Jammu and Kashmir. The Pir Panjal range separates the relatively warmer Kashmir Valley from the cold, arid Ladakh region to its east. This area experiences extreme temperature variations and receives very little precipitation, creating cold desert conditions.
