Correct Answer: C
Solution :
[c] It is one of only three major rivers in peninsular India that run from east to west (longest west flowing river), along with the Tapti River and the Mahi River. It is one of the rivers in India that flows in a rift valley, flowing west between the Satpura and Vindhya ranges. But, the ranges through which a river flows will not always be a reason for the river's direction.
