Option D Bhagirathi is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The Ganga River system is the country's biggest river system, including 10 states and over 23% of the country's land area. There are Himalayan and Peninsular rivers in the Ganga River system.

                 The Ganga River is approximately 2500 kilometres long, beginning in the state of Uttarakhand and ending in the Bay of Bengal. The river travels across India's rich Northern Plains and has enormous cultural significance in the country.

The Ganga is fed by two major headstreams: Bhagirathi and Alaknanda. The Bhagirathi River starts in the Gangotri glacier in Uttarakhand's Uttarkashi district. The Bhagirathi River travels through the central and lower Himalayas before joining the Alaknanda near Devprayag. Alaknanda flows from the Satopanth Glacier above Badrinath. The river is known as Ganga from Devprayag, when the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers meet.

• The Ganga runs through Shivalik before joining the plains at Haridwar.
• It runs south and then southeast from Haridwar to Allahabad, where it meets the Yamuna.
• It flows through Bihar and West Bengal, splitting into the Hooghly and Padma rivers before entering Bangladesh and ultimately emptying into the Bay of Bengal near Sagar Island.
• Son and Yamuna are important Ganga right bank tributaries.
• Its left bank tributaries are the Ramganga, Gomti, Gandak, Kosi, and Mahananda.

• Devprayag is not to be confused with Rudraprayag, which is the confluence of the Mandakini and Alaknanda rivers,
• Karnaprayag, which is the confluence of the Pindar and Alaknanda rivers,
• Vishnuprayag, which is the confluence of the DhauliGanga and Alaknanda rivers.
