👁 1 viewsThe Narmada is the river that flows westward through a distinct rift valley between two major mountain ranges in central India — the Vindhya and Satpura ranges. This geologic setting gives it a characteristic westward course and a gorge-like valley. Other options do not primarily run between two opposing ranges: Sharavati runs in the Western Ghats, Mahi and Sabarmati flow through different regional hills and plains rather than a defined inter-range rift valley. Thus, the correct choice is Narmada, as its path is classic for a river draining between these two ranges before reaching the Arabian Sea.
