A
1 and 2
B
2 and 4
Correct Answer
C
3 and 4
D
1 and 3
Explanation
Nagavali and Vamsadhara are the correct choices as both rivers originate in the Eastern Ghats within the Kalahandi and Rayagada districts of Odisha. In contrast, the Brahmani and Subarnarekha rivers are incorrect because they originate in the Chota Nagpur Plateau of Jharkhand rather than the Eastern Ghats. The core concept being tested is the precise physiographic origin and drainage patterns of major and minor Peninsular rivers in India.
