Hint:
A river is a naturally flowing water, usually freshwater, which flows into an ocean, sea, lake, or another river. In some cases, rivers flow to the ground and at the end of the stream become dry without reaching other water bodies. Most of the rivers started life as small streams that flowed down the mountainside.

Complete solution:
The Brahmaputra River rises from Lake Mansarovar, which is also the source of Indus and Sutlej. it runs for about a total length of 2,900 km. In India, it runs for 916 km. Most of the part of the river is outside India. It runs parallel to the Himalayan ridge to the east. When it reached Namcha Barwa, he turned around and entered the state of India in the state of Arunachal Pradesh. In India, this river is also known as the Dihang River. It flows through the states of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam and is connected by various tributaries. The Brahmaputra has a braid of canals covering most of its length in Assam. The river is known as Tsangpo in Tibet.
It receives less water and has less mud in the Tibetan region. The river flows through the high rainfall areas of India and the river carries large amounts of water and large amounts of silt during the rainy season.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.
