D performs her train journey by the shortest route from Bengaluru to New Delhi. Which one of the following rivers will she not cross while performing the journey ?

The shortest rail route from Bengaluru to New Delhi follows the North-South corridor via the New Delhi-Itarsi-Nagpur-Warangal-Kazipet section. This route crosses several major peninsular and central Indian rivers. Specifically, the journey crosses the Krishna river near Vijayawada/Kazipet, the Godavari river between Mancherial and Peddampet, and the Narmada river between Budni and Hoshangabad in the Bhopal-Itarsi section. Other crossings include the Wardha, Betwa, and Chambal rivers. While the Yamuna river flows through Delhi, the shortest route from the south terminates at New Delhi station without crossing the Yamuna, as the river lies to the east of the main tracks entering from the south. The Yamuna is typically crossed on routes heading east toward Ghaziabad, Allahabad, or Kolkata. Therefore, the Yamuna is the river not crossed on this specific journey.
