Correct Answer: Option C
Detailed Explanation:
The Kosi River is known as the 'Sorrow of Bihar' due to its frequent devastating floods and unpredictable course changes.
Originating in Tibet and flowing through Nepal into Bihar, the river carries heavy silt deposits that raise its riverbed, causing it to shift course and flood vast areas, displacing millions—the 2008 flood alone affected over 3 million people.
