Hint :The civilizations started about 50000 years ago, and the Thar Desert is marked as a border for India and Pakistan; only 85% of the desert lies in India, and the rest of the desert lies in Pakistan. The desert stretches its boundaries to Haryana, Gujrat, and Punjab.

Complete answer : The Luni River is an important river found in the Indian desert, and it is an inland river that does not meet at sea but disappears into the land.This river found in the desert area is the largest river originating from the Aravali range valley, which is near Ajmer, and the river ends in the marshy lands of Rann of Kutch in Gujarat.
The Luni River is known as the Lavanavari or Lavanavati, which in Sanskrit means "salt river" because of its water's high salinity.

Option 3, is the correct answer.

Note :The basin of the river Luni is 37,363 km2; this river includes the part of or all the places of Ajmer, Jalore, Jodhpur, and Sirohi districts. Until the river reaches Balotra, the river remains not saline as the soil's high salt content has an impact.The river flows on a riverbank surface, and the shallow bed is readily flattened by the rainwater when floods occur in the Luni river.
