Solution

The correct option is B five, river
The name Punjab comes from two Persian words, Punj meaning five and Aab meaning river. It was named so as the region had five rivers flowing namely Jhelum, Ravi, Chenab, Beas and Satluj. In the present-day state of Punjab, only Satluj and Beas flow through it and the rest of the rivers are a part of Pakistan.
