The Amarkantak Plateau is associated with the origin of which river?

Narmada

The Amarkantak Plateau is an important highland in eastern Madhya Pradesh and is traditionally recognized as the source region of the Narmada River. From this area, the Narmada flows westward across central India and eventually reaches the Arabian Sea. The question tests a source-region relationship, so the important clue is the standard association between Amarkantak and Narmada. Option A is therefore correct. The Teesta is linked with the eastern Himalayan region, the Ravi rises in the Himalayas, and the Sabarmati originates in the Aravalli region of Rajasthan. These rivers have different source areas and drainage settings. Although other streams also rise around the Amarkantak highlands, the well-known river-origin association asked in school geography is Amarkantak–Narmada, which clearly supports option A.
