The correct answer is B. Purushni.<\/p>\n

The river Ravi was known as the Purushni during Vedic times. It is one of the five rivers of the Punjab region, along with the Beas, Sutlej, Chenab, and Jhelum. The Ravi is a major tributary of the Chenab, and it flows through the Indian states of Punjab and Haryana, and the Pakistani province of Punjab.<\/p>\n

The name “Purushni” is derived from the Sanskrit word “purusha”, which means “man” or “person”. The river is said to have been named after the sage Pulastya, who is one of the seven sages of the Vedas.<\/p>\n

The Ravi is an important river for both India and Pakistan. It is used for irrigation, drinking water, and hydroelectric power generation. The river is also a popular tourist destination, and is known for its beautiful scenery and its many historical and religious sites.<\/p>\n
