Explanation
All three—Dibang, Kameng, and Lohit—are tributaries of the Brahmaputra River. The Brahmaputra has multiple important tributaries, particularly from the northeastern region of India. The Dibang (also called Siiang) rises in the eastern Himalayas and joins the Brahmaputra in Arunachal Pradesh. The Kameng River originates in Bhutan and flows into Arunachal Pradesh before joining the Brahmaputra. The Lohit River also originates in the eastern Himalayas in Tibet and flows through Arunachal Pradesh to join the Brahmaputra. All three are major tributaries from the northeast, contributing significantly to the Brahmaputra's water flow. > Key point: Dibang, Kameng, and Lohit are all major tributaries of Brahmaputra from the northeast (Arunachal Pradesh region). Answer: (d).
