Answer 1

The correct option is B Kali Bein

Kali Bein is a tributary of the Beas river. It originates in Wadhya village, and eventually meets the Beas river, after passing the Hoshiarpur and Kapurthala districts. It was on the banks of the Kali Bein river that Guru Nanak attained enlightenment. Kali Bein also supports the Kanjli Lake - a wetland declared as a Ramsar Site of International Ecological Significance in 2002.
