The river Narmada flows through the states of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra. This means that option 1, which only includes Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, is incorrect. Option 3, which includes Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh, is also incorrect. And option 4, which includes Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh, is also incorrect.

The correct option is option 2, which includes Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra. The river Narmada originates in the Amarkantak hills in Madhya Pradesh and flows through the states of Gujarat and Maharashtra before emptying into the Arabian Sea. It is one of the longest rivers in India and is considered to be one of the seven holy rivers in Hinduism. The river and its basin also provide water for irrigation and hydroelectric power generation in these states.
