How is the Hooghly river linked with the Ganga system?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: As a distributary stream of the delta area

Hooghly is a distributary associated with the Ganga delta in eastern India. Near the delta, the main river channel divides into several branches. A distributary carries water away from the main river toward the sea, whereas a tributary brings water into a main river. Hooghly is therefore understood as part of the deltaic branch system of the Ganga, not as an Indus channel or a tributary of the Narmada.

Option A is correct because it identifies Hooghly as a distributary stream in the delta region. The Indus, Narmada, and Luni belong to different drainage systems and do not provide the correct relationship. Remembering the difference between a distributary and a tributary is useful: a distributary separates from the main channel, while a tributary joins it. This distinction supports the answer.
