Solution

The correct option is A Nile
  1. Nile River- 6693 km
  2. Amazon River- 6436 km
  3. Mississippi Missouri River - 5970 km
  4. Congo river - 4700 km.
  • Though some studies claim that the Amazon is the longest river but the generally accepted information is that the Nile is still considered to be the longest river till further confirmatory studies are done. So option A is correct.
