Model Answer
The correct answer is C: a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
Chambal – Gandhi Sagar; Ganga – Tehri; Chenab – Salal; Satluj – Bhakra Nangal.
Explanation
Students must memorise river-dam pairs. Key ones: Bhakra Nangal is on the Satluj (also called Sutluj), Gandhi Sagar is on the Chambal, Salal is on the Chenab, and Tehri is on the Ganga (Bhagirathi tributary). The textbook specifically mentions the Bhakra-Nangal project in the Sutluj-Beas river basin. The others are standard NCERT Class 10 Geography facts from Chapter 3.
