Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Tehri Hydropower Complex (Tehri Dam) is located on the Bhagirathi River in Tehri Garhwal district, Uttarakhand. Official descriptions of the project state that the Tehri Dam was constructed across the Bhagirathi just below its confluence with the Bhilaganga and that the Tehri project (a 1,000 MW hydropower facility) is identified with the Bhagirathi River basin [1]. Reference lists of major Indian multipurpose projects also explicitly record the Tehri Dam’s location as the Bhagirathi River, confirming its siting on that river [2].
