💡 Analysis & Explanation
Tributary Hierarchy ▼
The mighty Indus river receives its major eastern tributaries through a unified channel known as the Panjnad in Pakistan.
Confluence Mechanism ▼
The Jhelum flows into the Chenab, and the Ravi also merges with the Chenab. Eventually, the combined waters of the Chenab river flow directly into the Sutlej river.
Final Meeting Point ▼
It is the Sutlej river, carrying the collective waters of the other major Punjab rivers, that proceeds forward to join the main channel of the Indus River directly at Mithankot.
Conclusion ▼
Within the provided choices, Sutlej is the ultimate carrier that links the eastern network directly to the Indus.
