The correct option is C Jog Falls
Jog Falls is one of the highest plunge waterfalls in India after the Nohkalikai Falls in Meghalaya. Jogu in Kannada means 'falls'. Additionally, a plunge waterfall refers to a waterfall that drops vertically without making contact with the cliff face. Jog Falls is said to be a segmented waterfall that becomes a plunge waterfall depending on the rainfall and season.
