Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Indus River starts its journey near the Mansarovar Lake, in Tibet in China. From Tibet, the river enters India through Ladakh. From Ladakh, the river flows through the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir. From here, the Indus river flows through the regions of Baltistan and Gilgit (Pakistan).
Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is Sutlej. It rises from the Manasarovar-Rakas Lakes in western Tibet. Before entering the Punjab plain, it cuts a gorge in Naina Devi Dhar, where the famous Bhakra dam has been constructed. It is the longest of the five tributaries of the Indus River.
