A
National Water Development Agency (NWDA)
B
Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA)
C
Inter-State Council Secretariat
D
Central Water Commission (CWC)
Correct answer: (b) Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA)
Explanation
Option B is correct because the Cauvery Water Management Authority is the statutory body constituted precisely to implement the final tribunal award as modified by the Supreme Court. The CWC, NWDA, and Inter-State Council do not perform this specific statutory river management role.
