💡 Analysis & Explanation
Context ▼
Rising temperatures are causing rapid glacial retreat in the Himalayas.
'Dead' Glacier ▼
A glacier is termed dead when it stops moving (flowing) due to thinning.
Status ▼
Reports indicate multiple small glaciers are becoming stagnant. The question likely refers to a specific recent report about glaciers like the 'Thulagi' or parts of others, but given the options and trend, 'More than one' or a specific lesser-known one (often confused with Yala which has been retreating fast) is the answer.
Safety ▼
D is selected to cover the possibility of multiple designations in recent reports.
