Which of the following is the largest inhabited riverine island of the Brahmaputra River?

Correct option is A

Majuli is the correct answer. Majuli, located in the Brahmaputra River in Assam, India, holds the distinction of being the world's largest inhabited riverine island. Recognized for its vibrant cultural landscape and rich biodiversity, Majuli is an epitome of the unique geographical phenomena formed by the dynamics of the Brahmaputra river system. It is known for its beautiful landscapes, diverse wildlife, and the cultural heritage of the Mishing, Deori, Sonowal Kacharis, and other communities living there. The island has been a significant cultural center, especially for Vaishnavism, with numerous Satras (monastic centers) established by the saint Sankardeva and his disciples. Majuli's ecological and cultural significance, coupled with the challenges it faces due to erosion and flooding, have drawn attention to the need for conservation efforts to preserve its unique identity and heritage.
