Most of the Himalayan rivers are of which type?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Perennial.

  • Most of the Himalayan rivers are perennial, meaning they flow throughout the year. This continuous flow is primarily due to the combination of melting snow and glaciers from the high altitudes of the Himalayas, as well as the region's substantial monsoon rainfall.
  • The glaciers act as a consistent source of water during the dry seasons, while the monsoon rains significantly increase water levels during the wet season.
