B) Bomdila Pass
C) Namcha Barwa
D) None of these

Answer 1

Hint: The Brahmaputra brook is a worldwide stream and is the primary stream of Central Asia. Its river basin is scattered over four nations Bhutan, Tibet, India, and Bangladesh. Out of its entire size, the Brahmaputra encompasses a crucial part of its voyage in Tibet as Tsangpo.

Complete answer:
For most of its distance, the river promotes a valuable inland waterway. Throughout its upper path, the Brahmaputra stream is mainly understood as the Tsangpo (“Purifier”) In Tibet, the Tsangpo receives an abundance of tributaries. After passing Tibet, the stream takes a path and progresses through great thin valleys situated between the Gyala Peri and Namcha Barwa. Subsequently, the stream turns south and southwest and surges through a deep valley (the “Grand Canyon” of the Tsangpo) across the eastern extremity of the Himalayas with canyon embankments. During that span, the river reaches northern Arunachal Pradesh state in north-eastern India, where it is known as the Dang River. Namcha Barwa is the third most distinguished mountain in the Himalayas. It is situated in the Yarlung Tsangpo brook as the stream joins its significant gorge across the Himalaya evolving as the Brahmaputra. Tsangpo ebbs in Tibet parallel to the major spectrum of the Himalayas. Before arriving in India through Arunachal Pradesh.

So, the correct answer is Option C.

Note: The Brahmaputra’s origin is the Chemayungdung Glacier. Brahmaputra stream gulf is realized to be very inclined to overrun and erosion. These two risks have led to many crises in the gulf. In India, out of the eight north-eastern provinces, Assam encounters the most drastic brunt of flood and erosion.
