The correct option is D Punjab

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The western part of the northern plains are known as Punjab plains. These plains have formed by the interplay of five tributaries of the Indus - Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej. These five rivers are the reason why this region is called Punjab.
"Punj" means five and "ab" means water.
