AnswerClick to flip back
A
Punjab
💡 Explanation:
Punjab is called the 'Land of Five Rivers' because its name derives from the Persian words 'Panj' (five) and 'Aab' (water), referring to the five rivers that flow through it: Beas, Sutlej, Ravi, Chenab, and Jhelum. These rivers have been crucial to Punjab's agriculture and history. 'Hariyana' in option C is misspelled (should be Haryana).
