The correct answer is option 4, Himachal Pradesh. Gobind Sagar is a man-made reservoir situated in Bilaspur district of Himachal Pradesh. This reservoir was created by the construction of the Bhakra Dam on the Sutlej River. It was named after Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru. The dam and reservoir project was a joint venture between the governments of Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan, with the aim of harnessing the water of the Sutlej River for irrigation and hydroelectric power generation. Gobind Sagar is a popular tourist destination, offering activities such as boating, fishing, and bird-watching. It serves as an important water source for the surrounding agricultural areas and also helps in generating electricity for the region.
