B
Correct answer
Explanation
The Ganga has the largest river basin in India, covering approximately 26% of the country's geographical area. The Ganga basin spans across 11 states and supports over 40% of India's population through its extensive network of tributaries including the Yamuna, Ghaghara, and Gandak. This makes it significantly larger than the basins of the Indus, Narmada, or Brahmaputra rivers.
