Solution

The correct option is C Doab
Doab is the term used in South Asia for the "tongue" or tract of land lying between two converging or confulent rivers. The doabs are low lying lands between the rivers which are immensely fertile due to the depositions brought by the river waters and thus ideal for farming. Doab refers to the riverine island where two rivers meet.
The correct option is C.
