One of the oldest Dams built in India post-independence, it is also known as Pampa Sagar. The dam is in Hospet, in the Karnataka district of Ballari. It is a multipurpose dam serving irrigation, producing power, regulating floods, etc.

Complete answer:
Along the Tungabhadra River, a tributary of the Krishna River, the Tungabhadra Dam is also known as Pampa Sagar.
This is a joint project of the former state of Hyderabad and the former presidency of Madras at the start of construction; it later became a joint project of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh after its completion in 1953.

Therefore the answer is D

Additional information
The reservoir circle was tasked with the building of canal works in 1956 as the main portion of the dam's construction was finished by the middle of 1953. In 1958, up to and including distributor 42, water was released to service an area of around 1.80 lakh acres.
Two streams, the Tunga, approximately 147 km (91.6 miles) long, and the Bhadra, approximately 178 km (110.9 miles) long, rising in the Western Ghats, derive their name from the Tungabhadra River.. The river continues for about 531 km (330 miles) after the impact of the two streams near Shimoga, before it meets the Krishna River at Sangameswaram in Andhra Pradesh.
