D Correct answer
Explanation

The Subarnarekha River (literally 'gold line' in Sanskrit) flows through mineral-rich regions of Jharkhand where gold has been historically found along its shores. The river's name itself comes from the gold deposits in its bed and alluvial soil. The other options are either not associated with gold deposits (Godavari, Ganges) or 'Gold Coast' is a geographic region, not an Indian river.

AI explanation

The Subarnarekha River (whose name literally translates to 'streak of gold') is known in India for gold particles found along its banks and bed, particularly in parts of Jharkhand, Odisha, and West Bengal, where local panning for gold has historically taken place. The other river names and 'Gold Coast' (a region, not an Indian river) don't fit this specific gold association.
