Which river is known as the 'Yellow River of India'?

Option B (“Chambal”) is incorrect because it does not match the river basin, lake type, location, tributary relationship, project or hydrological feature specified in the question. Option C (“Sutlej”) is incorrect because it does not match the river basin, lake type, location, tributary relationship, project or hydrological feature specified in the question. Option D (“Tista”) is incorrect because it does not match the river basin, lake type, location, tributary relationship, project or hydrological feature specified in the question. Therefore the correct option, index and explanation consistently identify Brahmaputra. The Brahmaputra River carries enormous amounts of silt and sediment, giving it a yellowish-brown color. This is why it is sometimes referred to as the 'Yellow River of India' (similar to the Yellow River - Huang He in China). The river transports one of the highest sediment loads in the world.
