Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Krishna .
The Tunga and Bhadra rivers are tributaries of the Krishna River, one of the major rivers in southern India. Both rivers originate in the Western Ghats of Karnataka—Tunga from the Gangamoola hills in Chikkamagaluru district and Bhadra from nearby regions. They flow separately for some distance before merging at Kudli, near Shimoga, to form the Tungabhadra River. The Tungabhadra then continues eastward, flowing through Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, and eventually joins the Krishna River. The combined waters play a vital role in irrigation, agriculture, and hydroelectric power generation in the region, supporting millions of people across both states.
