Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched?
- A(a), (b) and (c)
- B(a) and (b) only
- C(a) and (c) only

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let us analyze each pair individually:
* (a) Chambal: It is a principal tributary of the Yamuna River, flowing through Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, not the Narmada River.
