The Correct answer is option 4 i.e. Satluj.
The Bhakra Dam is built on the Satluj River in the state of Himachal Pradesh, India. It is one of the highest gravity dams in the world and plays a crucial role in irrigation, hydroelectric power generation, and flood control in northern India. Constructed between 1948 and 1963, the dam is a key component of the Bhakra-Nangal project. It has significantly contributed to the agricultural and economic development of the region. The other rivers mentioned—Beas, Ravi, and Chenab—are part of the Indus river system but are not associated with the Bhakra Dam.
