The correct option is B Only 2, 3 & 4


These rives have small basins and catchment areas. They are seasonal and non-perennial. The hard rock bed and lack of silt and sand does not allow any significant meandering.
As such, the rivers of the Peninsular Plateau follow more or less straight course.
Of the major rivers of peninsular India, only the Narmada, the Tapti and the Mahi run from east to west
