• A. Ganga
• B. Indus
• C. Sutlej
• D. Brahmaputra

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Indus

• The Nubra, Shyok, and Hunza rivers are all tributaries of the Indus River.

• Nubra River: The Nubra River is indeed a tributary, but it flows into the Shyok River, which is a right-bank tributary of the Indus River. So, indirectly, it contributes to the Indus.

• Shyok River: The Shyok River is a major right-bank tributary of the Indus River.

• Hunza River: The Hunza River joins the Gilgit River, which is also a right-bank tributary of the Indus River. So, indirectly, it contributes to the Indus.
