B Correct answer
Explanation

The Amazon River is the largest river in the world by discharge volume (approximately 209,000 cubic meters per second) and drainage basin area (7 million square kilometers). While the Nile is traditionally cited as the longest river, recent measurements suggest the Amazon may also be longer depending on measurement methodology. Option A (Nile) is the longest by traditional measurements but not the largest by volume or basin.
