Which of the following is NOT a major river in Assam?

• A. Brahmaputra
• B. Subansiri
• C. Dihing
• D. Manasarovar

Answer: (D)

Rivers in Assam include the Brahmaputra as the main watercourse, with its significant tributaries such as Subansiri and Dihing shaping the region’s drainage and geography. The Brahmaputra flows through Tibet into Assam and is one of the region’s defining rivers. Subansiri is a major tributary that runs through Arunachal Pradesh and joins the Brahmaputra, contributing a large flow to the basin. Dihing is another important river in upper Assam that feeds into the Brahmaputra system and supports local ecosystems and communities. Manasarovar, however, is a sacred high-altitude lake located in Tibet near Kailash, not a river and not in Assam. Since it isn’t a river in Assam, it’s not part of the major rivers of that state.
