The direct answer is A: city–river relation. Ujjain is a historic city situated on the banks of the Shipra River, and the river is closely connected with the city's religious, cultural and festival life. The question asks about the relationship, not about the river's source or a landform. Therefore, Shipra and Ujjain show how a river may be associated with a city. Option A is correct because it directly names this connection. Option B is wrong because a marine delta is a depositional landform formed where a river enters a sea or lake; the question does not describe such a feature. Option C is wrong because it refers to a river beginning from melting ice or a glacier, not to a city relationship. Option D is wrong because a salt lake is a water body with salty water, not a river–city association. Remember: when a question pairs a famous river with a nearby city, first check whether it asks for a city–river relation rather than a physical landform.
