Hint: Yarlung Tsangpo flows into the Arunachal Pradesh region of India, where it is called Siang. When leaving the Tibetan Plateau, the River forms the world's largest and deepest canyon, Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon.

Complete Step by Step Answer
It leaves the Angsi Glacier in western Tibet, southeast of Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar, and later forms the South Tibet Valley and Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon before moving on to the Arunachal Pradesh region, India. Downstream from Arunachal Pradesh the river is very wide and is called Siang.After reaching Assam, the river became known as the Brahmaputra. From Assam, the river flows into Bangladesh at Ramnabazar.
From there until about 200 years ago it used to flow east and join the Meghna River near Bhairab Upazila. This old channel was slowly disappearing.Currently the main route of this river is called the Juna River, which flows south to meet the Ganges, Bangladesh called Padma.

Additional Information: The Yarlung Tsangpo River is the largest river in the world. Yarlung Tsangpo enters the Arunachal Pradesh region of India, where it is called Siang. It makes a very rapid descent from its original elevation in Tibet and finally emerges from the plains, where it is called Dihang. It flows approximately 35 miles (22 mi) southward after that, connected by the Dibang River and the Lohit River on the edge of the Assam Valley. Below Lohit, the river is called Brahmaputra and Doima (mother of water) and Burlung-Buthur by the indigenous peoples of Bodo, then into the province of Assam, and then widening - 20 kilometers (12 mi) in parts of Assam.

The correct answer is therefore option (C) Brahmaputra

Note:
Leaving the Tibetan Valleys, the River forms the largest and deepest gorge in the world, the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon.
