Which one of the following statements about the Narmada and/or Tapi rivers is correct?

The Narmada is the only river that flows through Karnataka and drains into the Arabian Sea

Both the rivers flow into the Bay of Bengal after traversing through Rajasthan

Both the rivers are major tributaries of Godavari River and flow eastward into the Bay of Bengal

The Tapi river originates from the Satpura Range and drains into the Arabian Sea

✅ Correct Option: 4

The Tapi river indeed originates in the Satpura Range in Madhya Pradesh and flows westward into the Arabian Sea.

The Narmada flows through Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat, not Karnataka.

Both the Narmada and Tapi are west-flowing rivers that drain into the Arabian Sea, not the Bay of Bengal.

Neither river is a tributary of the Godavari as they are both independent major river systems.
