Answer 1

Hint: There are many beautiful waterfalls around the world. Maletsunyane is one of those. It is located in an unspoiled area with a single cataract on a tributary of the Orange River.

Complete step-by-step solution:
Maletsunyane Falls has a total height of 192 m (630 ft). It is a horsetail type of waterfall which has only one longest drop of 192 m. it is a waterfall located in Lesotho which is a South African country. Semonkong (Site of Smoke) is a town near the waterfalls which are also named after the falls. This waterfall comes under the Maletsunyane river and it is fallen from a ledge of Triassic – Jurassic basalt. ‘How Ridiculous’ is a famous Australian YouTube channel. It has broken the record for the world’s highest basketball shot which was at the Maletsunyane Falls. This took place in December 2017. This is the world record till now and no one broke this record. “World’s longest commercially operated abseil” was a Guinness World Record. It was managed by Semonkong Lodge. It was the first Guinness World Record at the Maletsunyane falls with a height of 204 m (669 ft). Lesotho is a high altitude country, crisscrossed by a network of mountain ranges which includes the 3,482 m high peak of Thabana Ntlenyana and the rivers. This country’s capital is Maseru and the currency is Lesotho loti.

Thus, option (A) is correct.

Note: A reverberating echo is created by the plunging water when it contacts the basin of the fall. A local legend has its own saying that the sound comes from the wailing of people who have drowned in the falls.
