Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The Banas River is popularly known as "Van Ki Asha" (Hope of Forests) in Rajasthan. The river plays a vital role in supporting forests, wildlife, agriculture, and human settlements in southeastern Rajasthan.
Banas is the longest river flowing entirely within Rajasthan. It originates from the Khamnor Hills near Kumbhalgarh (Rajsamand district) and ultimately joins the Chambal River.
Because of its importance in sustaining vegetation and forest ecosystems, it is called "Van Ki Asha".
