Show answer and solution

Answer: (A) Ganga and Brahmaputra

The Sundarbans lie in the Ganga-Brahmaputra delta shared by India (West Bengal) and Bangladesh. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the home of the Royal Bengal tiger. The other river pairs form deltas on the east coast or in the Indus plains and do not host this tidal mangrove ecosystem.
