Show answer and solution
Answer: (C) Both 1 and 2
Both are correct. The Ganga-Brahmaputra delta in Bengal and Bangladesh, including the Sundarbans, is among the largest deltas. The Narmada and Tapi flow in rift valleys between the Vindhyas and Satpuras and fall into the Arabian Sea through estuaries, not deltas. The trap is thinking every peninsular river flows east.
