B Correct answer
Explanation

Godavari is a peninsular river that originates in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra and never flows through the Himalayan region. The Indus rises in Tibet near Mount Kailash, while Alaknanda and Bhagirathi are Himalayan rivers that join to form the Ganga. Godavari is the only option that is exclusively a peninsular/Deccan river.
