Solution

The correct option is C Ghaggar
The Ghaggar is a seasonal stream, which rises in the Siwalik Range, in the Sirmaur district of Himachal Pradesh. It flows nearly 320 km southwest, entering into the plains of Mubarakpur, which is 1.6 km from Manimajra. After passing through Patiala, Ghanour, and Haryana, it enters Rajasthan and eventually dries up in the Thar desert. People utilise the water through two irrigation canals located southwest of Sirsa, which feed into the Rajasthan state. Being a seasonal river, it’s flow is dependent on the monsoon rainfall.
