The correct answer is Devprayag.

Devprayag is one of the Panch Prayag (five confluences) of the Alaknanda River. It is the confluence point where the Alaknanda River meets the Bhagirathi River. This confluence marks the point where the river officially gets the name “Ganga”.
– Vishnuprayag: Confluence of Alaknanda and Dhauliganga.
– Karnaprayag: Confluence of Alaknanda and Pindar.
– Rudraprayag: Confluence of Alaknanda and Mandakini.
– Devprayag: Confluence of Alaknanda and Bhagirathi.

The Panch Prayag are significant pilgrimage sites located along the Alaknanda River in Uttarakhand, India. These confluences are considered holy in Hinduism, marking key points in the journey of the Alaknanda before it merges with the Bhagirathi to form the main stem of the Ganges River.
