Which one among the following rivers is the longest?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

Among the four rivers listed, the Amazon is the longest. Modern compilations rank the Amazon at roughly 6,400 km, making it longer than the other choices [1]. The Amur is substantially shorter—about 4,444 km when measured to its farthest source. The Congo is also shorter than the Amazon (commonly reported near 2,922 miles, ≈4,700 km) and the Lena’s commonly cited length (~4,400 km) likewise falls well below the Amazon; thus the Amazon clearly exceeds the Amur, Congo and Lena in length. Therefore option 1 (Amazon) is the correct answer.
