Answer 2

Answer: C. Chyemayundung

Explanation:

The source of the Brahmaputra River is the Chemayundun Glacier, which sits high in the Himalayas about 60 kilometers (100 km) southeast of Lake Mapam in southwestern Tibet.

Upstream, the swashplate is commonly known as the Tsangpo (purifier). It is also known by its Chinese name (Yarlung Zangbo) and other original Tibetan names.

Slightly longer than the Indus, the outermost part of the course is outside India.

In Tibet, due to the cold and dry regions, the swash is low in water and low to the ground.

It flows east for 1100 km between the Greater Himalayas in the south and the Kailash Ranges in the north.
