Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

  • The Aryans settled in the region called ‘Sapta Sindhu,’ meaning the Land of the Seven Rivers.
  • This area included the Indus, Jhelum, Ravi, Chenab, Sutlej, Beas, and Saraswati rivers.
  • However, the Shipra River was not part of this region.
  • Shipra is primarily located in central India, flowing through Madhya Pradesh, while Sapta Sindhu covered the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent.
  • The rivers in Sapta Sindhu played a crucial role in the development of early Vedic civilisation, influencing agriculture, trade, and settlements.
