Which major peninsular river flows westward and drains into the Arabian Sea?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Narmada

Most major peninsular rivers of India flow eastward because the Deccan Plateau generally slopes toward the Bay of Bengal. Narmada is an important exception. It rises near Amarkantak and travels west through a long rift valley between the Vindhya range in the north and the Satpura range in the south. It finally reaches the Arabian Sea through the Gulf of Khambhat.

Thus Narmada is the correct choice, option C. Mahanadi, Godavari, and Kaveri generally flow eastward and form deltas on the Bay of Bengal coast. Their usual direction does not match the westward course asked about. The answer and explanation are therefore accurate.
