The correct answer is Brahmaputra.

Majuli is a large river island located in the Brahmaputra River in Assam, India. It was the world’s largest river island for a period, though its size has decreased significantly due to erosion. The island is formed by the Brahmaputra river in the south and the Kherkutia Suti, an anabranch of the Brahmaputra, joined by the Subansiri River in the north.

Majuli is culturally significant as the hub of Assamese neo-Vaishnavite culture, with numerous Satras (monasteries) located there. The island faces severe environmental challenges, primarily riverbank erosion, which has led to a substantial reduction in its area over the past few decades. Efforts are ongoing for its conservation.
