Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The correct choice is 2 (2 and 3 only). Jog Falls is formed by the Sharavathi (Sharavathi/Sharavati) River in Shimoga district, Karnataka, so pair 2 is correct [1]. Kapildhara (Kapil Dhara) is in the Amarkantak area and is a fall on the Narmada (not on the Godavari), so pair 1 is incorrect. Shivanasamudra (Sivasamudram) comprises the Gaganchukki and Bharachukki falls at Shivanasamudra near Bengaluru and these falls are on the Kaveri/Cauvery; thus pair 3 is correct (location citation for Shivanasamudra [2] and Kaveri/Cauvery basin context [2]). Therefore only pairs 2 and 3 are correctly matched.
