Solution
The correct option is A Majuli.
Majuli has shrunk as the river surrounding it has grown. However it is recognised by Guinness Book of World Records as World's Largest River Island.
The island is formed by the Brahmaputra river in the south and the Kherkutia Xuti, an anabranch of the Brahmaputra, joined by the Subansiri River in the north.
The island is inhabited by Mising tribes, Deori and Sonowal Kachri tribes.
At the world' largest inhabited riverine island, ancient cultural traditions and nature blend into the everyday life seamlessly.
