Select an option to attempt

Explanation

The Harike Wetland is formed at the confluence of the Beas and Sutlej rivers in Punjab, India.

Keoladeo Ghana National Park, also known as Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, is not located at the confluence of these rivers. It's a man-made wetland in Rajasthan, located on the confluence of River Gambhir and River Banganga.

Kolleru Lake is a freshwater lake in Andhra Pradesh and is not located where the Musi and Krishna rivers meet. It lies between the Krishna and Godavari deltas.

Thus only pair one is correctly matched.
