Gersoppa Falls is formed by which one of the following rivers?

Gersoppa Falls, also widely known as Jog Falls, is formed by the Sharavati River in the Shimoga district of Karnataka [2]. The Sharavati is a significant westward-flowing river of peninsular India that originates in the Western Ghats [2]. The waterfall is one of the most spectacular in India, reaching a height of approximately 253 to 271 meters [3]. It is also referred to by other local names such as Gerusoppe Falls and Jogada Gundi [1]. While some sources describe it as the highest untiered or plunge waterfall in India, others rank it as the second-highest plunge waterfall [3]. The river Sharavati, despite its relatively small drainage area, contributes significantly to the region's water yield and supports major hydroelectric power projects [4]. The other options, such as the Lohit, Tungabhadra, and Krishna, are distinct river systems located in different geographical regions of India.
