Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (b) Pushkar Valley

Explanation

The Luni River originates from the Pushkar Valley of Ajmer, located in the Aravalli Mountain Range near Ajmer. It flows in the south-west direction through Rajasthan and Gujarat and finally disappears in the Rann of Kutch. It is an inland-draining (endorheic) river. Note- As “Naga Hill” is not given in the options, the appropriate answer will be Pushkar Valley. Therefore, option (b) is correct.
