Solution
✅ Correct Option: 1
The Tsangpo rises in Tibet, flows east, and on reaching Namcha Barwa makes a sharp southward hairpin bend, cutting a deep gorge before entering Arunachal Pradesh as the Dihang. Downstream it is joined by the Dibang and Lohit and is known as the Brahmaputra.
Note: The question spells the landform as "gaurge" (as mentioned in NTA response sheets); we have read it as "gorge".
