Correct Answer: A

It is primarily made up of 'doabs' ? the land between two rivers. From east to west these doabs are as under. Bist-Jalandhar Doab, lying between the Beas and the Sutluj; Bari Doab, between the Beas and the Ravi; Rechna Doab, between the Ravi and the Chenab; [d] Chaj Doab, between the Chenab and the Jhelum; and Sind Sagar Doab, between the Jhelum-Chenab and the Indus.
