'Nile river' does not flow through which of the following countries?

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Chad
Explanation:
· Countries Traversed: The Nile River, generally considered the longest river in the world, flows through 11 countries in northeastern Africa. These are Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, South Sudan, Sudan, and Egypt.
· Chad: While the Nile Basin shares a border with the Chad Basin to the west, the river itself does not flow through Chad. The drainage patterns of Chad are largely centered around Lake Chad, which is separate from the Nile system.
Additional Information (Other Options):
· (a) Sudan: The two major tributaries, the White Nile and the Blue Nile, meet in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, to form the main Nile river.
· (c) Uganda: The White Nile (one of the two main tributaries) exits Lake Victoria at Jinja in Uganda, flowing northward.
· (d) Egypt: The Nile ends its 6,600+ km journey in Egypt, flowing into the Mediterranean Sea. It is the lifeblood of Egypt, with most of the population living along its banks.
Information Booster:
· "Gift of the Nile": The Greek historian Herodotus called Egypt the "gift of the Nile" because, without the river's water and fertile silt, the Egyptian civilization could not have thrived in the desert.
· Sources: The Blue Nile originates from Lake Tana in Ethiopia (contributing ~80% of the water), while the White Nile is traditionally considered to start from Lake Victoria in East Africa.
