The correct answer is option 1, Kosi. The Kosi River originates in Nepal and flows into the Ganges. The Kosi River is also known as the Saptakoshi River and is one of the major tributaries of the Ganges. It starts its journey from the high Himalayas in Nepal and crosses through the Terai region of Nepal before entering India. In India, it flows through the states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, eventually joining the Ganges near the city of Bhagalpur. The Kosi River is prone to flooding, and its changing course has caused significant damage to surrounding areas in the past. It is an important river for both Nepal and India, serving as a vital water source and supporting the livelihoods of many people.
