Your answer:

Correct:
B
Explanation
Option 2 is not correctly matched. Govind (Gobind) Sagar is the reservoir formed by the Bhakra dam across the Sutlej (Satluj) river, so Govind Sagar–Satluj is correctly matched [1]. Ukai is the reservoir/project on the Tapi (Tapti) river in Gujarat, so Ukai–Tapi is correct [2]. Wular is the large freshwater lake in the Kashmir Valley and is fed by the Jhelum, so Wular–Jhelum is also correct [2]. Kolleru, however, is a large freshwater lake in coastal Andhra Pradesh situated between the Godavari and Krishna deltas and is not a lake on the Krishna river itself; thus Kolleru–Krishna is the incorrect pairing.
