Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Godavari

The river known as Godavari is another name for the river Dakshin Ganga. It is often referred to as the "Ganga of the South" due to its considerable length (the second-longest river in India after the Ganga) and its cultural and religious significance in Peninsular India. The Godavari originates in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra and flows eastward across several states before emptying into the Bay of Bengal, forming a large delta.
