– Alaknanda is another major headstream of the Ganga. Pauri is the headquarters of Pauri Garhwal district, which falls within the broader Alaknanda-Ganga basin and is geographically associated with the Alaknanda system. (B-4 is a plausible association in this context).
– Nayar is a tributary of the Alaknanda/Ganga system, flowing through Pauri Garhwal district. Lansdowne is a cantonment town also located in Pauri Garhwal district, in the region associated with the Nayar river system and its tributaries. (C-1 is a plausible association).
– Ganga is formed at Devprayag. Narendra Nagar is a town located near Rishikesh, which is situated on the banks of the Ganga as it descends from the Himalayas into the plains. (D-2 is a plausible association).
Option A aligns these connections: Bhagirathi-Uttarkashi, Alaknanda-Pauri, Nayar-Lansdowne, Ganga-Narendra Nagar.
