Correct:
C
Explanation
The Almatti (Alamatti/Lal Bahadur Shastri) Dam is constructed on the Krishna River. Official sources describe Almatti as a hydroelectric project on the Krishna River in North Karnataka [3]. The dam is explicitly identified as part of the Upper Krishna Irrigation Project, linking the Almatti structure to the Krishna basin and its irrigation/power network [1]. Reference material listing major projects confirms the Upper Krishna Project’s location as Krishna, which further corroborates Almatti’s siting on the Krishna River [2]. Combining these authoritative project and government descriptions confirms that the Almatti/Alamatti Dam is on the Krishna River, so option 3 (Krishna) is correct.
