The correct answer is option 2, Tehri dam. The Tehri dam, located in the state of Uttarakhand, is the tallest dam in India. It is constructed on the Bhagirathi River, which is one of the main tributaries of the Ganges. The dam stands at a height of 260.5 meters (855 feet), making it the tallest dam in India and one of the tallest in the world.
Option 1, Indira Sagar dam, is one of the largest reservoirs in India, but it is not the tallest. Option 3, Mettur dam, is a large dam located in Tamil Nadu, but it is also not the tallest. Option 4, Koyna dam, is a concrete dam located in Maharashtra, but it is not the tallest either.
Therefore, the tallest dam in India is Tehri dam.
