Explanation
Option (a) is correct
- Kishenganga River (Neelum, Kishenganga is the tributary of Jhelum) flows in the Kashmir Valley and is the northernmost among the four. The Ganga River rises from the Gangotri Glacier in the Garhwal Himalaya and flows across the northern plains, lying south of the Kishenganga. The Wainganga River and the Penganga River are tributaries of the Godavari in central and southern India. The Wainganga River originates in the Mahadeo Hills near Gopalganj village in Seoni district of Madhya Pradesh. The Painganga River flows through several districts of Maharashtra along a winding course and is an important tributary of the Wardha River.
