Match the List I with List II

LIST-I (Drainage Pattern)		LIST-II (Rivers)
A.	Dendritic	I.	Chambal
B.	Radial	II.	Narmada
C.	Centripetal	III.	Subarnarekha
D.	Pinnate	IV.	Mahanadi

Correct option is D

Drainage patterns are classified based on their flow direction and geological structures. The correct matching is:

1. Dendritic (A) → Mahanadi (IV)

   • Dendritic drainage resembles tree branches, common in homogeneous rock structures.
   • The Mahanadi River follows this pattern.

2. Radial (B) → Subarnarekha (III)

   • Radial drainage forms when rivers radiate outward from a central high point, such as a volcano or dome-shaped hills.
   • Subarnarekha River originates from the Chotanagpur Plateau, forming a radial pattern.

3. Centripetal (C) → Chambal (I)

   • Centripetal drainage occurs when rivers converge into a central basin or depression.
   • The Chambal River, a tributary of the Yamuna, follows this pattern in some regions.

4. Pinnate (D) → Narmada (II)

   • Pinnate drainage consists of parallel tributaries joining the main river at acute angles.
   • The Narmada River, flowing through a rift valley, exhibits this pattern.

Thus, the correct sequence is:
 A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
