The rivers Damodar, Koel and Subarnarekha originate from which of the following?
Detailed Explanation:
The Damodar, Koel, and Subarnarekha rivers originate from the Chota Nagpur Plateau in eastern India, covering parts of Jharkhand, Odisha, West Bengal, and Chhattisgarh. This ancient plateau is a major watershed for several east-flowing rivers.
The Deccan Plateau is in peninsular India (south of Narmada), the Central Highland lies between Aravalli and Vindhya ranges, and the Meghalaya Plateau is in the northeast—none are the source of these three rivers.
Therefore, Chota Nagpur Plateau being the origin, Option 3 is the correct answer.
