A. Pranahita
B. Manjira
C. Penganga✓ Correct Answer
D. Indravati

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Penganga River originates in the Ajanta ranges of the Buldhana district in Maharashtra and flows eastward, forming a natural boundary between Maharashtra and Telangana before emptying into the Wardha River, which subsequently forms the Pranahita. The Manjira river flows through Medak and Nizamabad districts in Telangana from the south. The Indravati drains the Bastar region of Chhattisgarh. The Penganga is vital for regional irrigation networks.
