Solution

The correct option is B Yamuna
  • Major left-bank tributaries include Gomti (Gumti), Ghaghara (Gogra), Gandaki (Gandak), and Kosi (Kusi); major right-bank tributaries include Yamuna (Jumna), Son, Punpun and Damodar. The hydrology of the Ganges River is very complicated, especially in the Ganges Delta region.
  • The Yamuna sometimes called Jamuna is the longest and the second largest tributary river of the Ganges (Ganga) in northern India.
  • It is the longest river in India which does not directly flow to the sea.
