Yamuna River is considered to originate from which glacier?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yamunotri Glacier

The governing concept is the geographical source of a major Himalayan river. The Yamuna is traditionally considered to originate from the Yamunotri Glacier near Yamunotri in Uttarakhand. Glacier melt and snow-fed streams collect in this high Himalayan region and begin the river’s course. The Yamuna then flows through the northern plains and joins the Ganga at Prayagraj. Therefore, option B is correct. Gangotri Glacier is associated with the Bhagirathi, one of the principal source streams of the Ganga, not with the Yamuna. Siachen Glacier lies in the Karakoram and is unrelated to the accepted source of the Yamuna. Milam Glacier is associated with the Goriganga system in Uttarakhand. These geographical associations distinguish the correct answer from the distractors.
