Gaumukh is associated with the major glacial stream of which river?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Ganga

Option A, Ganga, is correct. Gaumukh is the snout, or lower end, of the Gangotri Glacier in Uttarakhand. The stream emerging from this glacial source is the Bhagirathi, one of the principal headstreams of the Ganga. Farther downstream, the Bhagirathi joins the Alaknanda at Devprayag, after which the combined river is conventionally called the Ganga. The Brahmaputra has a different Tibetan source region and drainage course, while Narmada and Krishna are mainly peninsular rivers with non-glacial source settings. Thus the precise local stream is Bhagirathi, but among the options its major river system is the Ganga, making A the best answer.
