Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Indus.
The Zaskar and Nubra rivers are tributaries of the Indus River.The Zaskar River originates in the Zaskar Range of the Himalayas and flows through the union territory of Ladakh, merging with the Indus near Nimu. The Nubra River, formed by the confluence of the Shyok and Siachen rivers, also joins the Shyok River, which is itself a major tributary of the Indus.
These rivers are vital for agriculture and settlements in the cold desert regions of Ladakh. The Indus River system, one of the largest in South Asia, ultimately flows into Pakistan and the Arabian Sea.
