Hint: The Narmada Fountain is a small lake, known as the Narmada Kund, located in Amarkantak on the Amarkantak Plateau in Anuppur district, in the Shahdol region east of Madhya Pradesh.

Complete answer:The Narmada River, also known as Reva and formerly known as Narbada. It is also known as the "Life Line of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat" for its great contribution to the region of Madhya pradesh and Gujarat in many ways. The Narmada rises from the Amarkantak Plateau in Anuppur region of Madhya Pradesh. It forms a traditional border between North India and South India and flows westward more than 1,312 kilometers before crossing the Gulf of Khambhat into the Arabian Sea. The source of Narmada is a small dam, called Narmada Kund, located in Amarkantak on the Amarkantak Plateau in the Anuppur region. The river descends from Sonmud, then falls down a cliff as the Kapildhara Falls and the mounds on the hills flow through a rough road that cuts through the rocks and islands to the ruined palace of Ramnagar. Between Ramnagar and Mandla, 25 km northeast, the course is steeped in deep water with no rocky obstacles. Banger joins from left. The river then flows northwest along a small loop toward Jabalpur.

therefore, the correct option is (C)

Note: The Narmada is one of only three major rivers in India from the peninsula extending from east to west, along with the Tapti River and the Mahi River. It is one of the rivers in India that flows through a rift valley, flowing west between the Satpura and Vindhya mountains. Like a torrent, the Narmada river does not generate delta. The Rift Valley forms rivers. Other rivers flowing through the rift valley include the Damodar River at Chota Nagpur Plateau and Tapti.
