The correct answer is option 3: Krishna. A drainage basin, also known as a watershed, is an area of land where all the water drains into a common outlet, such as a river or lake. In this question, we are looking for the highest drainage basin associated with a peninsular river in India. The Krishna River is one of the longest rivers in India and flows through the states of Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. It originates in the Western Ghats and drains into the Bay of Bengal. The Krishna River has a large drainage basin, covering a vast area of land, and is an important water source for agriculture, irrigation, and hydroelectric power generation in the region. Therefore, option 3, Krishna, is the correct answer.
