Hint
This river is named after an English sea explorer and navigator who back in the early $17^{th}$ century served the Dutch East India Company. The river acts as a territorial border at its southern end between the states of New Jersey and New York. Farther north, between many New York counties, it marks municipal borders.

Complete answer:
The Hudson River is a 315-mile (507 km) river that mostly flows through eastern New York in the United States from north to south.

The river flows southward through the Hudson Valley into the Upper New York Bay between New York City and Jersey City, originating in the Adirondack Mountains of Upstate New York. In New York Harbor, it finally drains into the Atlantic Ocean. The river acts as a territorial border at its southern end between the states of New Jersey and New York. Farther north, between many New York counties, it marks municipal borders.

Named after Henry Hudson, an Englishman sailing for the Dutch East India Company, who explored it in 1609, the river is also named after Hudson Bay in Canada.

Therefore the correct answer is C

The Rhine is one of the main European rivers, which has its origins in Switzerland and flows through Germany and the Netherlands in a more northerly direction, emptying into the North Sea. In the south-eastern Swiss Alps, the river starts in the Swiss canton of Graubünden, forms part of the Swiss-Liechtenstein, Swiss-Austrian, Swiss-German and Franco-German borders, then flows through the German Rhineland and the Netherlands and finally empties into the North Sea.
