A
Correct answer
Explanation
The Godavari River is traditionally called the 'Ganga of the South' or 'Dakshin Ganga' due to its length and cultural importance. It is the longest river in peninsular India, flowing through multiple states. The Kaveri and Krishna are major southern rivers but shorter, and neither carries this epithet.
