Which difference in water source between Peninsular and Himalayan rivers is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Peninsular rivers are mainly rain fed while Himalayan rivers are fed by rainfall and snowmelt

The direct answer is A: Peninsular rivers are mainly fed by rainfall, while Himalayan rivers receive water from both rainfall and melting snow and ice. A river’s water source affects whether its flow changes greatly with the seasons. Peninsular rivers rise mostly in the older plateau region, where there are no large permanent glaciers; therefore, their water supply depends strongly on the monsoon. Himalayan rivers are supplied by monsoon rain as well as snowmelt, so many of them carry water for most of the year and are called perennial rivers. Option A is correct because it states both parts of this comparison accurately. Option B is wrong because rivers do not get their water only from the sea; they flow toward seas and oceans. Option C is wrong because Peninsular rivers do not all rise from glaciers. Option D is wrong because Himalayan rivers also receive considerable rainfall, especially during the monsoon. Remember: plateau rivers are mainly rain-fed and seasonal; Himalayan rivers are rain-fed plus snow-fed and often perennial.
