The correct answer is (D) Tawi. The Indus River system includes the main Indus river and its major tributaries like Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej, which collectively form the Panjnad. Beas, Ravi, and Chenab are major tributaries that join the Indus (directly or indirectly through the Panjnad). The Tawi River is a tributary of the Chenab River. While the Tawi is part of the larger Indus drainage basin as it flows into Chenab, which flows into the Indus, it is a tributary of a tributary, not a direct major tributary of the Indus itself in the same category as Beas, Ravi, or Chenab. The question likely intends to distinguish between major direct tributaries or main river components of the system listed and a smaller, secondary tributary.

The Indus River system comprises the main river and its principal tributaries like the Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej. Tawi is a tributary of Chenab.

The Chenab River is one of the largest tributaries of the Indus, and the Tawi River is an important river in Jammu and Kashmir that joins the Chenab near Sialkot in Pakistan.
