Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Among the four projects, only the Sanjay Sarovar Project lies outside the Narmada basin. It is built on the Wainganga river (also called the Upper Wainganga or Bheemgarh dam) in Seoni district; the Wainganga is a tributary of the Godavari, so the project belongs to the Godavari basin. The other three are all within the Narmada basin: the Barna Project is on the Barna river (a Narmada tributary, Raisen district), the Sukta Project is on the Sukta river (a left-bank sub-tributary of the Narmada, Khandwa district), and the Man Project is on the Man river (a right-bank tributary of the Narmada, Dhar district).
