Detailed explanation-1: -The major west-flowing rivers in Peninsular India are Narmada and Tapi. It is located mainly in Madhya Pradesh. The Narmada River is also known as the Rewa River. The River is originated from Maikala range near Amarkantak.
Detailed explanation-2: -The peninsular Rivers in India include the Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, Cauvery, Narmada, and Tapti or Tapi.
Detailed explanation-3: -Reason is incorrect: But the Narmada and the Tapi are exceptions as they flow west, towards the Arabian sea. The direction of their flow is not governed by the tilting of the peninsular block as they flow through rift valleys which are formed due to multiple subsidence and upliftment of the Earth’s surfaces.
Detailed explanation-4: -Though shorter than Narmada, Tapi also flows in the troughs of Peninsular plateau. Therefore, the correct answer is Narmada and Tapi.
