AGanga
BGodavari
CBrahmaputra
DChambal
Answer:
C. Brahmaputra
Read Explanation:
The Brahmaputra River marks the easternmost boundary of the Himalayas.
After flowing eastward for a considerable distance parallel to the Himalayas under the name Yarlung Tsangpo in Tibet, the river takes a sharp U-turn around the Namcha Barwa peak.
It then enters India in Arunachal Pradesh, where it is known as the Dihang, effectively defining the eastern extent of the main Himalayan range before the mountains trend southward into the Purvanchal hills
