Model Answer

(C) Tankas

Explanation

The passage clearly states that in semi-arid and arid regions of Rajasthan (Bikaner, Phalodi, Barmer), houses traditionally had underground tanks called tankas for storing drinking water. Kuls/Guls are diversion channels in Western Himalayas; Khadins and Johads are rainwater storage structures for agriculture in Rajasthan, not drinking water tanks.
