Complete Answer:
The Darling River refers to the third longest river located in Australia, measuring approximately 1,472 kilometres (915 mi) from its source present in the northern New South Wales to its confluence with the Murray River at Wentworth, New South Wales. Comprising its longest contiguous tributaries it is around 2,844 km (1,767 mi) long,that makes it the longest river system in the country of Australia.
The Darling River is the outback's most popular waterway. The river is currently said to be in poor health, suffering from factors like over-allocation of its waters, pollution from pesticide runoff and prolonged drought. At the time of drought periods in the year 2019 it has barely flowed at all. The river possesses a high salt content and declining water quality. Increased rainfall in its catchment in the year 2010 has improved flow, but somehow the health of the river depends on long-term management.
The Division of Darling, Division of Riverina-Darling, Electoral district of Darling and Electoral district of Lachlan and Lower Darling have been named after the river, “Darling Murray”.

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
