Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Indus.
The river known as "Singi Khamban" in Tibet is the Indus River. The name "Singi Khamban" translates to "Lion's Mouth" in Tibetan, reflecting the river's origin in the vicinity of the sacred Mount Kailash, which is considered a lion-shaped mountain. The Indus River begins its journey from the glaciers near this region in Tibet, specifically the Bokhar Chu glacier. Flowing westward, it traverses through Ladakh in India and continues into Pakistan, serving as a lifeline for the region and holding immense historical and cultural significance.
