A Correct answer
Explanation

Superimposed drainage occurs when a river system is forced to flow over newer geological structures, characteristic of Peninsular India's ancient rivers adjusting to tectonic changes. Antecedent drainage maintains its course across rising mountain ranges, typical of Himalayan region rivers that predate mountain uplift. Jet streams occur in upper atmospheric zones (5). Inland drainage is found in desert areas (3) where rivers don't reach the sea. The correct matching is A-1, B-2, C-5, D-3.
