Correct:
A
Explanation
The confluence of the rivers Alaknanda and Bhagirathi occurs at Devprayag in the Tehri Garhwal district of Uttarakhand. It is at this location that the river officially takes the name Ganga.
Devprayag is the final of the Panch Prayag (five sacred confluences) of the Alaknanda river. The other four confluences are:
- Vishnuprayag: Where Alaknanda meets the Dhauliganga.
- Nandaprayag: Where Alaknanda meets the Nandakini.
- Karnaprayag: Where Alaknanda meets the Pindar River.
- Rudraprayag: Where Alaknanda meets the Mandakini.
Among these, Devprayag holds the highest religious significance as it marks the beginning of the Ganga's journey through the plains of India.
