Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D

Explanation

The correct matching of the rivers with their respective places of origin is as follows:

  • Yamuna (A): Originates from the Yamunotri Glacier on the Banderpunch peaks in the Lower Himalayas, Uttarakhand.
  • Krishna (B): Originates near Mahabaleshwar in the Satara district of Maharashtra.
  • Godavari (C): Known as the 'Dakshina Ganga', it originates from Trimbakeshwar near Nasik in Maharashtra.
  • Mahanadi (D): Originates from the Sihawa highlands in the Dhamtari district of Chhattisgarh.

Matching these pairs results in A-4, B-3, C-2, and D-1, which aligns with option D.
