Consider the following statements : 1. Jhelum River passes through Wular Lake. 2. Krishna River directly feeds Kolleru Lake. 3. Meandering of Gandak River formed Kanwar Lake. How many of the statements given above are correct?

Option (b) is correct because statements 1 and 3 are factually accurate: the Jhelum River flows through Wular Lake in Kashmir, and Kanwar Lake in Bihar is an oxbow lake formed by the meandering of the Burhi Gandak River. Statement 2 is the primary distractor; while Kolleru Lake is located between the Krishna and Godavari deltas, it is fed by seasonal streams like Budameru and Tammileru rather than directly by the Krishna River. The core concept being tested is fluvial geomorphology and the specific hydrographic associations of major Indian river systems.
