{'indira gandhi canal': [1, 1, 1, 0], 'manjra river': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'tributary': [0, 0, 0, 3], 'godavari': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'nizam sagar': [1, 1, 0, 0], 'narmada': [20, 1, 18, 13], 'ghaggar': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'amarkantak region': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'water': [65, 15, 80, 129], 'penganga': [0, 2, 1, 0]}

The correct answer is option 1 which states that "Ghaggar’s water is utilised in the Indira Gandhi Canal". This statement is untrue because the Indira Gandhi Canal gets its water supply from the Beas and Sutlej rivers, not from Ghaggar river.

Options 2, 3, and 4 are true.

Option 2 states that "Narmada rises from the Amarkantak region". This is an accurate statement as the Narmada river indeed originates from the Amarkantak region in Madhya Pradesh, India.

Option 3 notes that "Nizam Sagar is situated on the Manjra river". It is also accurate. The Nizam Sagar Dam is indeed built across the Manjra River in the Indian state of Telangana.

Option 4 mentions that "Penganga is a tributary of the Godavari". This statement is true as the Penganga River is indeed a tributary of Godavari and meets it in Maharashtra, India.
