The correct answer is C. Nubra glacier Nubra river gets water from it which flows into Shigar river.

The Nubra river is a tributary of the Shyok River, which in turn is a tributary of the Indus River. The Nubra river does not flow into the Shigar river.

The other options are all correct.

  • Biafo glacier is the second longest glacier in the Karakoram range, after the Siachen glacier. It is located in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan. The Biafo glacier is devoid of vegetation, as it is located at an altitude of over 4,000 meters.
  • Hispar glacier is the third longest glacier in the Karakoram range. It is located in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan. The Hispar glacier provides water to the Shigar river.
  • Siachen glacier is the longest glacier in the world outside polar areas. It is located in the Karakoram range, on the border between India and Pakistan. The Siachen glacier is a major source of water for the Indus River.
