D Correct answer
Explanation

The art of navigation is believed to have originated in the Indus River (Sindh) valley around 6000 years ago. The word 'navigation' itself is derived from the Sanskrit word 'Navgatih'. Ancient Indian maritime trade routes used the Indus River for early navigation development. The Ganges, Yamuna, and Brahmaputra (options A, B, C) are sacred rivers but not credited with navigation's birth.
