C Correct answer
Explanation

Rivers flowing westward into the Arabian Sea, such as the Narmada and Tapti, form estuaries rather than deltas due to the rift valley topography and lack of silt. In contrast, eastern flowing rivers like the Cauvery, Krishna, and Ganga form large deltas. Thus, option C is correct.
