Solution

The correct option is B North-Western
Punjab is situated in the North-Western part of India. The word Punjab is a compound of the Persian words panj (five) and ab (waters). Thus, Punjab roughly means “the land of five rivers”. The five rivers are the Sutlej, Beas, Ravi, Chenab, and Jhelum (also spelled Jhelum).
