Why is it incomplete to view Himalayan rivers only as a cause of floods?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because they also provide irrigation, fertile soil and water resources

Correct answer: C, because Himalayan rivers provide important benefits as well as creating flood risks. These rivers carry water throughout the year in many stretches and support irrigation, drinking-water supply, agriculture, hydropower, and other human activities. During floods, they may damage crops, homes, roads, and property, especially when heavy rain, snowmelt, silt, or poor drainage increase the flow. However, judging them only by their harmful effects gives an incomplete picture. A is wrong because several Himalayan rivers flow through or across India. B is wrong because these rivers can and do flood. D is wrong because they are freshwater river systems, not rivers containing only seawater. A balanced geographical answer includes both hazards and benefits. Memory cue: rivers can be both resources and risks.
