B Only two

Correct answer: (a) Only one

Explanation

  1. A

    Only one

    Only one. Hundru on the Subarnarekha in Chota Nagpur is the clean row.

  2. B

    Only two

    Only two. Dhuandhar is Narmada but in the Satpura/Marble Rocks belt, not Malwa as labelled; Gersoppa is Sharavati, not Netravati.

  3. C

    All three

    All three. Two rows are mismatches.

  4. D

    None

    None. Hundru is correctly matched.

Summary. Official key is (a) only one. Hundru Falls: Subarnarekha, Chota Nagpur — correct. Dhuandhar is on the Narmada at Bhedaghat (Jabalpur), not in the Malwa region as the table says. Jog/Gersoppa is on the Sharavati in the Western Ghats, not the Netravati. So only row 2 matches.
