Correct Answer - Option 3 : Brahmaputra

The correct answer is Brahmaputra.

• Teesta river is the tributary of the Brahmaputra river.
• The Teesta River, which rises in the eastern Himalayas and flows through the Indian states of Sikkim and West Bengal before entering the Bay of Bengal, is 315 km long.
• It drains 12,370 km² of land. North Sikkim, East Sikkim, Kalimpong district, Darjeeling district, Jalpaiguri district, Cooch Behar districts, and the cities of Rangpo, Jalpaiguri, and Mekhliganj are all located in India.
• In Bangladesh, it joins the Jamuna River at Fulchhari. The Teesta River rises above 7,068 meters and flows south through gorges and rapids in the Sikkim Himalaya, beginning at the Pahunri glacier.

• The Brahmaputra River, also known as the Yarlung Tsangpo in Tibet, the Siang/Dihang River in Arunachal Pradesh, and Luit, Dilao in Assam, flows through Tibet, India, and Bangladesh.
• It is the world's ninth-largest river by flow and the 15th-longest river.
• The Yarlung Tsangpo River originates in the Manasarovar Lake district, near Mount Kailash, on the northern side of the Himalayas in Burang County, Tibet, and flows through southern Tibet, breaking through the Himalayas in great gorges (including the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon), and into Arunachal Pradesh (India).
