The correct answer is (d) Tungabhadra.

The Tungabhadra River is a major river in the Indian states of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. It is formed by the confluence of the Krishna and Bhima rivers, and flows through the Deccan Plateau before joining the Krishna River near Vijayawada. The Tungabhadra River is a major source of irrigation and hydroelectric power in the region.

The Gandikota canyon is a deep gorge carved out by the Tungabhadra River. It is located in the Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh, about 150 kilometers from Hyderabad. The canyon is about 10 kilometers long and 300 meters deep. It is a popular tourist destination, known for its scenic beauty and historical significance.

The other options are incorrect because they are not rivers that flow through the Gandikota canyon. The Cauvery River is a major river in the Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Kerala. The Manjira River is a tributary of the Godavari River. The Pennar River is a tributary of the Krishna River.
