Answer 1

Hint:
It is a permanent water body inland from the coastal zone.
It includes rivers, lakes, floodplains, reservoirs, etc.
Its function is to build the necessary infrastructure in the waterways.

Complete answer:
Gujarat is endowed with a generous supply of rivers that adorn the state as a whole. For tourist as well as commercial and government purposes, the places around the rivers are built. Like river systems in India, these rivers are worshipped and held sacred by the local population.

Option A) Banas – is an incorrect answer because Gujarat is blessed with a bountiful supply of rivers. Some rivers of north Gujarat like Banas, Saraswati, Rupen, etc. drain into the small Rann of Kutch. That’s why Banas is not the only inland river of Gujarat.

Option B) Saraswati – is an incorrect answer because it is not only one inland river of Gujarat. There are many inland rivers of Gujarat. So, it is incorrect here.

Option C) Rupen – is an incorrect answer because it is not only one inland river of Gujarat. There are many inland rivers of Gujarat. So, it is incorrect here.

Option D) All of the above – is a correct answer because Banas, Saraswati, Rupen are inland rivers of Gujarat. So, it is the correct answer. Rivers of Gujarat include Banas, Saraswati, Rupen, etc. All of the above is the right answer.

Therefore the correct answer is D
