From which glacier does the Yamuna river originate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yamunotri glacier

The direct answer is A, the Yamunotri Glacier. The Yamuna begins in the high Himalayas of Uttarakhand, where meltwater from the Yamunotri Glacier and nearby snowy areas forms its upper stream. Step by step: identify the river as the Yamuna; recall its source region; connect that source with Yamunotri; therefore option A is correct. Option A works because Yamunotri is traditionally identified as the source glacier of the Yamuna. Option B, Siachen Glacier, is in the eastern Karakoram and is associated with the Nubra-Shyok river system, not the Yamuna. Option C, Milam Glacier, is associated with the Goriganga system. Option D, Pindari Glacier, gives rise to the Pindar River, a tributary of the Alaknanda, not the Yamuna. Do not confuse a glacier’s name with the name of the river flowing nearby. Memory cue: Yamuna begins at Yamunotri; the repeated “Yamun” sound helps.
