Explanation
The Godavari is one of India's major rivers flowing through central and southern India. Among the given rivers, Indravati and Pranahita are confirmed tributaries of the Godavari. Vamsadhara is a river in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh but it flows independently to the Bay of Bengal and is not a tributary of Godavari. Pennar (or Penna) is a river in southern India but it is a tributary of the Krishna River, not the Godavari. Therefore, only Indravati and Pranahita are tributaries of Godavari. > Indravati + Pranahita = Godavari tributaries. Vamsadhara = independent river. Pennar = Krishna tributary. Answer: d.
