Answer: Beas, Chenab, Ravi, Satluj and Yamuna
Notes: Himachal Pradesh is traversed by five major rivers from the Indus system. The Beas, Chenab, Ravi, and Sutlej are tributaries of the Indus River, while the Yamuna is a tributary of the Ganges. All five rivers flow through Himachal Pradesh at various points in their courses. The Sutlej is the longest river in the state, originating from the Tibetan plateau. The Chenab and Ravi join together in Punjab, and the Beas also flows into Punjab. The Yamuna starts from the Yamunotri Glacier in the eastern Himalayas and passes through eastern Himachal Pradesh. Therefore, option (d) correctly identifies all five rivers that pass through the state.
