Correct:
A
Explanation
The Central Water Commission (CWC) is the nodal agency in India responsible for flood forecasting and the dissemination of flood alerts. The CWC maintains a vast network of stations to monitor water levels and provide advance warnings to states prone to riverine floods.
As per the network status during the 2019 period:
- Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Tripura were all covered by the CWC flood forecasting network due to their susceptibility to flash floods and river overflows (e.g., Jhelum in J&K, Sutlej in HP, and rivers like Gumti in Tripura).
- Rajasthan, primarily being an arid state with limited perennial river systems, was not included in the CWC’s specialized flood forecasting network at that time.
Note: The question contains a typo where 'Food' is written instead of 'Flood'.
