C Correct answer
Explanation

Both statements are factually correct. Godavari, Krishna, and Cauvery are major peninsular rivers that flow eastward into the Bay of Bengal. The Bhagirathi River originates from the Gaumukh glacier in the Gangotri glacier and is one of the two headstreams of the Ganges (the other being Alaknanda). These are standard geographical facts about Indian rivers.
