Correct:
B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 (3-4-1-2). This matching is based on the geographical location of prominent towns within specific river basins of Uttarakhand.
- (A) Bhagirathi - 3 (Uttarkashi): Uttarkashi is a major spiritual and administrative town situated directly on the banks of the Bhagirathi river before it meets the Alaknanda at Devprayag.
- (B) Alaknanda - 4 (Pauri): While Pauri town sits on a ridge, the district and its surrounding slopes fall predominantly within the extensive Alaknanda river basin system.
- (C) Nayar - 1 (Lansdowne): Lansdowne, a cantonment town, is located in the catchment area of the Nayar River, which is a significant left-bank tributary of the Ganga.
- (D) Ganga - 2 (Narendra Nagar): Located in Tehri Garhwal, Narendra Nagar overlooks the Haridwar-Rishikesh valley where the river is officially known as the Ganga after the confluence at Devprayag.
Other options are incorrect as they fail to align these specific towns with their respective hydrological basins accurately.
