Solution
The correct option is D Namcha Barwa
- The Brahmaputra rises in Tibet east of
Mansarowar lake very close to the sources of
the Indus and the Satluj. It is slightly longer
than the Indus, and most of its course lies
outside India.
- It flows eastwards parallel to
the Himalayas. On reaching the Namcha
Barwa (7757 m), it takes a ‘U’ turn and enters
India in Arunachal Pradesh through a gorge.

by the Dibang, the Lohit, and many other tributaries to form the Brahmaputra in
Assam.
