Explanation

The drainage system of India is characterized by major river systems and their specific tributaries. The Sutlej is a significant antecedent river that originates near Lake Rakshastal in Tibet and eventually merges with the Indus river system [1]. The Kosi river, known for its frequent course changes and flooding in the northern plains, is a major left-bank tributary of the Ganga [4]. The Teesta river, which flows through Sikkim and West Bengal, is a prominent tributary of the Brahmaputra. Finally, the Chambal river originates in the Malwa Plateau and flows northward to join the Yamuna near Etawah. Therefore, the correct matching is: Sutlej-Indus (A-4), Kosi-Ganga (B-3), Teesta-Brahmaputra (C-2), and Chambal-Yamuna (D-1). This alignment corresponds to option 3.
