Show answer and solution
Answer: (D) Kosi
The Kosi, a tributary of the Ganga rising in Nepal, carries heavy silt and often shifts its course, causing devastating floods in northern Bihar. The Damodar was called the Sorrow of Bengal before dams were built, while the Gandak is another flood-prone Himalayan river. The Son is a peninsular tributary.
