Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C

Explanation

Majuli is a large river island located in the Brahmaputra River in the state of Assam, India. It is widely recognized as the world's largest mid-river island. The island was formed due to course changes by the river Brahmaputra and its tributaries, particularly the Lohit.

  • In 2016, Majuli became the first island in India to be designated as a district.
  • It is the cultural capital of Assam and the cradle of Neo-Vaishnavite culture, home to numerous Sattras (monasteries) established by the saint-reformer Srimanta Sankardeva.
  • The island is currently facing severe environmental threats due to extensive soil erosion caused by the Brahmaputra's annual flooding.

The other rivers listed—Ganga, Godavari, and Kaveri—do not contain the Majuli island.
