The longest West flowing peninsular river is:

ATapti

BPeriyar

CNarmada

DLuni

Answer:

C. Narmada

Read Explanation:

The Narmada River is the longest west-flowing peninsular river in India.

The Narmada River flows primarily through the states of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat, and it empties into the Arabian Sea. It is about 1,312 kilometers (815 miles) long, making it the longest river in peninsular India that flows towards the west, as most of the major rivers in the region flow towards the east and empty into the Bay of Bengal.

The Narmada is unique because it flows in a rift valley between the Satpura and Vindhya mountain ranges, and its course is mostly westward, which is relatively unusual for rivers in the Indian subcontinent.
