Hint:
It is a land lying between two blended waterways. It is like an interlude. In the Oxford Hindi-English Dictionary, R. S. McGregor characterizes it as from Persian doab which is a space lying between and returning to the juncture of 2 streams (esp. that between the Ganges and Yamuna).

Complete Answer:
The Doab assigns the level alluvial parcel between the Ganges and Yamuna waterways reaching out from the Shivalik Hills to the two streams' conversion at Allahabad. It is likewise called Ganges-Yamuna Doab or Ganga Doab. The venue encompasses a zone of around twenty-three,360 sq. miles (60,500 sq. km); it's roughly five hundred miles (805 km) long and sixty miles (97 km) in breadth.
The British raj partitioned the Doab into three authoritative areas, viz., Upper Doab (Meerut), Middle Doab (Agra), and Lower Doab (Allahabad).
At present, the accompanying states and areas structure part of The Doab:
Upper Doab includes the cities of Uttarakhand namely Dehradun and Haridwar, Uttar Pradesh: Saharanpur, Shamli, Muzaffarnagar, Baghpat, Meerut, Ghaziabad, Hapur, Gautam Buddh Nagar, and Bulandshahr and also Delhi.
Focal or Middle Doab - Utah, Kasganj, Aligarh, Agra, Hathras, Firozabad, Farrukhabad, Kannauj, Mainpuri, Etawah, Auraiya and Mathura. Mathura is in the trans-Yamuna area of Braj.
Lower Doab - Kanpur, Fatehpur, Kaushambi, and Allahabad

Thus, option (A) is correct.

Note:
Every one of the parcels of land lying between the intersecting waterways of the Punjab locale of Pakistan and India has an unmistakable name, said to have been begotten by Raja Todar Mal, a clergyman of the Mughal head Akbar. The names (aside from "Sindh Sagar'') are a blend of the primary letters, in the Persian letter set, of the names of the streams that bound the Doab. For instance, "Jech" = Jhelum + Chanāb.
