    One of the great rivers

    B.

    eastern face of Tibet

    D.

    originates from the

    Correct option is C

    Option (c) contains an error.
    Explanation:
    · The article "a" before "Hwang Ho" is incorrect because Hwang Ho (Yellow River) is a specific river and should be preceded by "the" instead of "a."
    · The correct phrase should be "of China, the Hwang Ho," as proper names of rivers always take "the" before them.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    · Names of rivers, oceans, and seas are always preceded by "the."

    ✅ One of the great rivers of China, the Hwang Ho, originates from the eastern face of Tibet.
