Solution
The correct option is A Huang He
- The Yellow River or Huang He is the second-longest river in China, after the Yangtze River, and the sixth-longest river system.
- It is named for the vast quantities of yellow silt it carries to its delta. The river is sometimes called "China's Sorrow" because of the devastating floods that once occurred regularly in its lower course. Yellow River is the translation of Huang He, its Chinese name.
