A Correct answer
Explanation

Jammu and Kashmir, particularly the Ladakh region, receives very scanty rainfall of less than 40 cm annually due to the rain shadow effect of the Himalayas and its location in a cold desert zone. The other options (Mizoram, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh) all receive significantly more rainfall and do not fit this arid classification.
