From which region of the Himalayas does the river Brahmaputra originate?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Northern.
The Brahmaputra River originates in the Northern Himalayas, specifically from the Chemayungdung Glacier near Mount Kailash in southwestern Tibet. In its upper course, it is known as the Tsangpo or Yarlung Tsangpo. The river flows eastward across Tibet, then curves southward through the Himalayas into India, entering Arunachal Pradesh as the Siang (or Dihang) before becoming the Brahmaputra in Assam.
