Show answer and solution
Answer: (B) Tsangpo

After entering Arunachal Pradesh it is called Dihang (Siang), in Bangladesh its main channel is called Jamuna, and after meeting the Ganga it flows on as the Padma and then the Meghna. Each name belongs to a different stretch of the river, so location decides the answer.
