Hint:

Important National Waterways: \[ \text{NW 1} \rightarrow \text{Prayagraj to Haldia} \] \[ \text{NW 2} \rightarrow \text{Sadiya to Dhubri} \] \[ \text{NW 3} \rightarrow \text{Kottapuram to Kollam} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Let us match each National Waterway correctly.
Step 1: National Waterway 1 \[ \text{NW 1} \] extends from: \[ \text{Prayagraj to Haldia} \] Thus: \[ A \rightarrow 2 \]
Step 2: National Waterway 2 \[ \text{NW 2} \] is located on the Brahmaputra River from: \[ \text{Sadiya to Dhubri} \] Thus: \[ B \rightarrow 1 \]
Step 3: National Waterway 3 \[ \text{NW 3} \] lies in Kerala and extends from: \[ \text{Kottapuram to Kollam} \] Thus: \[ C \rightarrow 4 \]
Step 4: National Waterway 4 \[ \text{NW 4} \] extends from: \[ \text{Kakinada to Puducherry} \] Thus: \[ D \rightarrow 3 \] Therefore, the correct matching is: \[ A-2,\ B-1,\ C-4,\ D-3 \] Option analysis:
• Option (A): Correct
• Option (B): Incorrect matching
• Option (C): Incorrect matching
• Option (D): Incorrect matching Therefore: \[ \boxed{\text{(A)}} \]
