    The correct option is (C) Mahananda.

    Explanation:
    The Mahananda River is not a tributary of the Indus River. It originates in the Himalayas and flows through West Bengal and Bangladesh before merging with the Ganges. The Indus River, on the other hand, has several tributaries including Jhelum, Beas, and Chenab, all of which flow through the region that includes Pakistan and parts of India.

    • The Mahananda River is primarily associated with the Ganges River system and does not flow into the Indus.

    Additional Knowledge:

    • The Jhelum River originates in Kashmir and is a significant tributary of the Indus River.

    Beas:

    • The Beas River flows through Himachal Pradesh and Punjab, and its waters eventually reach the Indus.
