What does the Indus flowing through Ladakh clarify?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is a river linked with the north western Himalayan region

The direct answer is B: the Indus is linked with the north-western Himalayan region. The Indus rises near the Tibetan Plateau, enters the Ladakh region, flows through the north-western part of the Indian subcontinent, and then continues through Pakistan before reaching the Arabian Sea. Its passage through Ladakh shows its association with the north-western Himalaya rather than with the Ganga system or the Deccan Plateau. Option A is wrong because the Indus is not a distributary of the Ganga; a distributary branches away from a main river, usually in a delta. Option B is correct because Ladakh lies in the north-western Himalayan region and the Indus is one of its important rivers. Option C is wrong because the Deccan Plateau is a Peninsular region and its rivers include Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri, not the Indus. Option D is wrong because the Indus does not form a delta in the Bay of Bengal; it flows westward and reaches the Arabian Sea. Exam cue: location is powerful—Indus means north-west, while Ganga-Brahmaputra is associated with the northern and eastern plains.
