a. River Ganga
b. River Mahanadi
c. River Godavari
d. River Krishna
ANSWER: River Ganga
Explanation:
The Uttarakhand High Court has recognised river Ganga as the first living entity of India.
This is a move that grants it the same legal rights as a human being.
The new status means that if someone pollutes the Ganga - considered to be the holiest river in the country - the law will see it equal to harming a human being.
The court also ruled that the government form a Ganga Administration Board for better maintenance and cleaning of the river.
