The correct answer is A) Kaveri (Cauvery).
The Almatti Dam is a gravity dam on the Kaveri River in Karnataka, India. It is the largest dam in the state and the fourth largest in India. The dam was built to provide irrigation and drinking water to the state of Karnataka, as well as to generate hydroelectric power.
The construction of the Almatti Dam has been a source of dispute between Karnataka and neighboring states, particularly Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu is a downstream state and relies on the Kaveri River for irrigation and drinking water. The construction of the Almatti Dam has reduced the flow of water to Tamil Nadu, which has led to protests and legal action.
The Almatti Dam is a controversial project, but it is also an important one for the state of Karnataka. The dam provides irrigation and drinking water to millions of people, and it also generates hydroelectric power. The dispute between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu over the dam is likely to continue for many years, but the dam is a vital part of the infrastructure of Karnataka.
The other options are incorrect because they are not rivers that flow through Karnataka. The Krishna River flows through Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Maharashtra. The Godavari River flows through Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Chhattisgarh. The Bhima River flows through Maharashtra and Karnataka.
