Hooghly River is considered a distributary of which great river?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Ganga

The correct answer is the Ganga. The Hooghly is a distributary of the Ganga that flows through West Bengal and reaches the Bay of Bengal. A distributary branches away from the main river in its lower course, usually toward a delta or estuary, whereas a tributary joins the main river. This distinction is important: the Hooghly is not a tributary of the Brahmaputra, Mahanadi, or Godavari. The Bhagirathi-Hooghly channel is an important branch of the Ganga system and has supported ports, settlements, agriculture, and commerce in the region. Therefore, option A correctly identifies its parent river.
