Solution

The correct option is C Kallanai dam
Tamil Nadu receives all of its rainfall from the northeast and the southwest monsoons. The southwest monsoon pours down on the catchment areas of the Cauvery River. As a result, the Mettur dam and the Kallanai dam get filled and the state receives water.
