Complete solution:
The Chambal River is the Yamuna River in central India and is, therefore, part of the larger Gangetic water system. The river flows northeast through Madhya Pradesh, temporarily traverses Rajasthan, and then forms a border between Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh before turning southeast to join the Yamuna in the state of Uttar Pradesh. This is the longest river in Rajasthan and the only river that flows all year round in Rajasthan. The river originates in the Janapau hills of Vindhyachal in Madhya Pradesh.
Additional information: The Chambal River is considered to be free of pollution and carries with it an amazing variety of rivers that include two species of crocodiles, the mugger and the gharial, eight species of freshwater turtles, otter-bound otters, gangetic river dolphins, skimmers, and black -terns, sarus cranes and black storks, among others.
Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Note:
It is a popular river and is found in ancient inscriptions. The never-ending Chambal originated in Janapav, south of the town of Howth, near Manpur Indore, on the southern slope of the Vindhya Range in Madhya Pradesh.
