A. Narmada
B. Damodar
C. Kaveri
D. Beas

Answer 1

Hint: A river, generally freshwater, is a natural flowing watercourse flowing to an ocean, sea, lake, or another river. In certain situations, without touching any body of water, a river runs through the field and becomes dry at the end of its course.

Complete answer:
The Narmada rises on the frontier with Chhattisgarh state at an elevation of around 3,500 feet in the Maikala Range in eastern Madhya Pradesh state. First, through the hills near Mandla, it follows a tortuous path and then turns northwest to pass Jabalpur town. There it turns southwest and then joins the structural trough at Marble Rocks Gorge between the Vindhya and Satpura mountains. The river, turning farther west, proceeds through Madhya Pradesh until it crosses into the state of Gujarat. Via an estuary 13 miles (21 km) deep, just under Bharuch, the Narmada joins the Gulf of Khambhat.
The Damodar River, a river in northeast India, rises in the Chota Nagpur Plateau of south-central Bihar State with its several tributaries, especially the Bokaro and Konar. It follows a path generally eastward to reach the Hugli (Hooghly) River southwest of Kolkata for 368 miles (592 km) across West Bengal (Calcutta).
The Kaveri River, also known as the Cauvery, is the holiest river in southern India. It rises on the Western Ghats' Brahmagiri Hill in the southwestern state of Karnataka, flows 475 miles (765 km) southeast through the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, and descends in a sequence of great falls to the Eastern Ghats.
The river which originates in the Beas Kund is Beas. At Rohtang Pass in the western (Punjab) Himalayas, in central Himachal Pradesh, the Beas rises at an elevation of 14,308 feet (4,361 meters). It flows south through the Kullu Valley from there, receiving tributaries from the flanking mountains, and then turns west to flow into the Kangra Valley, past Mandi. The Beas enters the Punjab state after entering the valley and turns south and then southwest after a course of about 290 miles to its confluence with the Sutlej River at Harike (470 km).
So, the correct answer is Option D.

Note: Countless fish and other marine species were found dead in the river Beas due to the release of molasses from a sugar mill located on its shore in the village of Kiri Afgana in the district of Gurdaspur. Locals noticed that the color of the water had shifted to rust-brown, and there were dead fish floating in the river.
