The correct answer is option 3 - Doab. Doab is a term used in South Asia to refer to the fertile land between two rivers. It is derived from the Persian words "do" meaning "two" and "ab" meaning "river". Doabs are typically formed by the confluence of two rivers, where the land in between is rich in nutrients and suitable for agriculture. This fertile land is often highly sought after for farming and settlement due to its favorable conditions for crop cultivation. Examples of famous Doabs include the Punjab Doab in India and Pakistan, formed by the rivers Beas and Sutlej, and the Ganges-Yamuna Doab in India formed by the Ganges and Yamuna rivers.
