The correct answer is option 3, Narmada. The Narmada River in India flows in a rift valley. A rift valley is a long, narrow valley formed by the sinking of the Earth`s crust between two parallel faults or tectonic plates. The Narmada River originates in the Amarkantak Plateau in Madhya Pradesh and flows westward through the states of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat before emptying into the Arabian Sea. Its formation in a rift valley has resulted in the creation of steep cliffs and gorges along its course. This river is known for its geological and cultural significance and has played a vital role in the development of civilizations in the region.
