Correct Answer:
C. Himachal Pradesh
Explanation:
Himachal Pradesh is the Indian state through which all five rivers—Chenab, Ravi, Beas, Sutlej, and Yamuna—flow. While the first four are major components of the Indus River system, the Yamuna belongs to the Ganga Basin. In Himachal Pradesh, the Chenab is formed by the confluence of the Chandra and Bhaga rivers, the Ravi originates in the Bara Bhangal region, and the Beas rises near the Rohtang Pass. The Sutlej enters the state from Tibet at Shipki La, and the Yamuna, though originating in Uttarakhand, traverses the Sirmour district. Together, these perennial rivers form the core of the state's extensive drainage network.
