Hint: The district has a population of 7,08,972, which constitutes 3.13% of the state's total population.
This district is famous for Kuntala Water Falls,Pochera waterfalls, Jainath temple and Gayatri waterfall.
It is recognised as the South and Central India Gateway District.

Complete answer:
The river joins Andhra Pradesh in the district of Adilabad at Basar.
The Godavari River, Telangana's other most significant river, is the country's second longest river. Before crossing Telangana and joining the Bay of Bengal, this river originates in the Nashik district of Maharashtra and flows across the Deccan Plateau.
In the Adilabad district, Godavari enters Telangana near Basar and divides Nizamabad and Karimnagar to the south and Adilabad to the north.
Now lets see the options :-
Adilabad :- The river enters andhra pradesh at Basar in adilabad district thus this option is correct.
Karimnagar :- The river enters andhra pradesh at Basar in adilabad district thus this option is wrong.
Warangal :- The river enters andhra pradesh at Basar in adilabad district thus this option is wrong.
Khammam :- The river enters andhra pradesh at Basar in adilabad district thus this option is wrong.

Hence the correct answer is option A.
