Complete solution:
The Thamirabarani or Tamraparni or Porunai is a lasting stream that starts from the Agastyarkoodam pinnacle of Pothigai slopes of the Western Ghats, above Papanasam in the Ambasamudram taluk. It courses through Tirunelveli and Thoothukudi locales of the Tamil Nadu condition of southern India into the Gulf of Mannar. It was known as the Tamraparni River in the pre-traditional period, a name it loaned to the island of Sri Lanka. The old Tamil name of the stream is Porunai. From the source to the ocean, the waterway is around 128 kilometres (80 mi) long and is the main perpetual stream in Tamil Nadu. This stream streams towards the north heading at first. In any case, it alters to the east course later.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.
