Answer 1

Answer:

D. All of the above

• Correct Answer: Option D - All of the above

• Bokhar Chu: Indus origin - Correct

• The Bokhar Chu is one of the headstreams of the Indus River in Tibet. The Indus River originates near Lake Manasarovar in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, where the Bokhar Chu is located. This headstream is considered part of the source region of the Indus.

• Mithankot: Confluence of tributaries - Correct

• Mithankot (also spelled as Mithan Kot) is a city located in Punjab, Pakistan, near the confluence where the Panjnad River (formed by the five rivers of Punjab - Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej) meets the Indus River. This makes it an important confluence point of tributaries in the Indus river system.

• Karachi: Indus delta - Correct

• Karachi is Pakistan's largest city, situated near the Indus River delta where the river meets the Arabian Sea. The Indus forms a large delta before emptying into the sea, and Karachi is positioned near this delta region.

• Since all three pairs are correctly matched, Option D (All of the above) is the correct answer.
