What is the source of a river?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Where a river begins

The source of a river is the place where the river begins. It may be a spring, glacier, lake, highland, or region receiving enough rainfall for a stream to form. From its source, water generally flows downhill through the river channel toward lower land and eventually reaches a mouth. Knowing the direction of flow helps distinguish the beginning of a river from its end.

The place where a river joins the sea is its mouth, not its source. A delta is a depositional landform that may form near the mouth, but it is not the river’s beginning. Entering a city is only a location along the course and has no special meaning in this definition. Therefore, option B, where the river begins, is correct.
