Which idea is correct while connecting Hooghly with the Ganga system?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is a distributary stream linked with the Ganga delta region

The direct answer is A: Hooghly is a distributary stream connected with the delta region of the Ganga system. A distributary is a branch that leaves the main river, especially in a delta before the river reaches the sea. Step by step: the Ganga carries sediment downstream; near its lower course the river divides into branches; one important branch is the Hooghly, flowing through West Bengal toward the Bay of Bengal. Therefore option A is correct. Option B is wrong because Hooghly is not the main channel of the Indus, which belongs to a different river system. Option C is wrong because Hooghly is not a tributary of the Narmada; the Narmada flows west through central India. Option D is wrong because Luni is a separate river of Rajasthan and its inland drainage is unrelated to Hooghly. Also remember the vocabulary: a tributary joins a main river, while a distributary branches away from it. This distinction is useful in delta questions. Memory cue: Hooghly is a Ganga branch near the Bengal delta.
