Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 (1, 2 and 3) because all three pairs correctly match the rivers with their respective states.

  • Damanganga: This river rises in the Sahyadri hills of Maharashtra but flows predominantly through Gujarat and the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu before emptying into the Arabian Sea. It is a vital water source for South Gujarat.
  • Girna: It is a major tributary of the Tapi river. It originates in the Nashik district of Maharashtra and flows through the Jalgaon district. The Girna Dam is a significant irrigation project in this region.
  • Pamba: Also known as the 'Dakshina Bhagirathi', it is the third-longest river in Kerala. It originates in the Pulachimalai hill of the Western Ghats and is famous for its association with the Sabarimala temple.

Since all three geographical associations are factually accurate, Option 4 is the right choice.
