B Correct answer
Explanation

Meghalaya literally means 'abode of clouds' in Sanskrit, derived from 'Megha' (clouds) and 'Alaya' (abode/dwelling). The name was chosen due to the state's high altitude and heavy rainfall, particularly in Cherrapunji and Mawsynram, which are among the wettest places on Earth.
