Answer: B) Ganga Explanation: India is a land of rivers.

Two major rivers of the Indian subcontinent – Brahmaputra and Indus – are though longer than the Ganges, but the distances these two rivers cover within India are much shorter than that of the Ganges. The Ganges is the most sacred river to the Hindus. The Ganges originates from Gangotri Glacier (Uttarakhand).
