Explanation

The question requires matching tributaries with their respective main rivers in the Deccan region. Based on Indian physical geography:

  • Kabini (Pair 2): It is a major right-bank tributary of the Kaveri river, originating in the Wayanad district of Kerala. This match is correct.
  • Manjra (Pair 3): Also known as Manjira, it is a significant right-bank tributary of the Godavari river. This match is correct.
  • Bhavani (Pair 1): It is a major tributary of the Kaveri river (not Krishna), joining it in Tamil Nadu.
  • Bhima (Pair 4): It is a major tributary of the Krishna river (not Mahanadi), originating in the Bhimashankar hills of the Western Ghats.

Since only pairs 2 and 3 are correctly matched, Option B is the correct answer.
