B Correct answer
Explanation

Kaveri River is traditionally called the 'Ganga of the South' or 'Dakshina Ganga' due to its sacred status in South India. It originates in Karnataka and flows through Tamil Nadu, supporting agriculture and culture similar to the Ganga's role in North India. The river hosts numerous temples and is central to Tamil heritage. Krishna, Godavari, and Narmada are major rivers but don't hold this specific title. Narmada is actually in central India, not the south.
