Solution

The correct option is D Punjab
The western part of the northern plains are known as Punjab plains. These plains have been formed by the interplay of five tributaries of the Indus - Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej. These five rivers are the reason why this region is called Punjab.
Punj meaning five, ab meaning water.
