Solution

The correct option is B Damodar Valley

Damodar River is a tributary of Hooghly River. This is the first multipurpose project that was carried out in India. It flows from the west to east direction through Jharkhand and West Bengal. This is called 'Sorrow of Bengal' due to floods it often causes. In order to control floods The Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) was established on 18th February, 1948 to execute the Damodar Valley Project.
