What is the land between two rivers called?

Correct answer: Doab

The direct answer is B: doab. The word doab comes from two words meaning “two” and “water,” and in geography it means the land lying between two rivers. Step by step: identify the two rivers; find the area enclosed or located between their channels; call that area a doab. Option B is correct. A delta is a depositional landform formed near a river’s mouth where the river enters a sea or lake; it is not simply every area between two rivers. C, a pass, is a route or low gap through mountains, so it describes a mountain passage, not river-between land. D, an island, is land surrounded by water, usually on all sides; it is not the specific term for land between two rivers. The Punjab region provides famous examples such as the land between the Ganga and Yamuna being called the Doab in a broader Indian geographical context, while Punjab has named doabs between its rivers. The exam cue is “two rivers = doab.”
