The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Tapi.

The Tapi (or Tapti) River, with a length of approximately 724 km, is one of the key rivers in peninsular India. Originating in the Satpura Range in Madhya Pradesh, it flows westward through Maharashtra and Gujarat before emptying into the Arabian Sea.

It parallels the Narmada River and drains a significant portion of central India, supporting diverse ecosystems and numerous communities along its course.
