1. A. Only one
2. B. Only two
3. C. All three
4. D. None

Answer: A

Explanation

Only one row is correctly matched. Row 2 is correct: Hundru Falls is located in the Chota Nagpur region (Ranchi, Jharkhand) and is formed by the Subarnarekha River. Row 1 is incorrect: Dhuandhar Falls is on the Narmada River in Jabalpur district, which is in the Mahakoshal region, not Malwa. Row 3 is incorrect: Gersoppa Falls (also known as Jog Falls) is located in the Western Ghats (Karnataka) but is formed by the Sharavathi River, not the Netravati River. The Netravati River flows through Mangalore. This question tests specific geographical facts about India’s physical features, a common component of the UPSC Geography syllabus.
