Hint: The Rivers of India play a crucial part in the lives of citizens. They provide water to drink, electricity, and a clean environment to breathe in. This handily clarifies why almost all the major cities of India are located by the banks of rivers. The rivers also have an important role in Hindu Religion and are considered holy by all Hindus in the territory of India.

Complete answer:
There are major rivers in the Indian Territory such as Narmada, Son, Mahe, and Netravati. The Narmada River is also named Barbara. It is also known as the "Life Line of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat" for its enormous offering to the state of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat in numerous ways. Narmada emerges from Amarkantak Plateau in Anuppur district Madhya Pradesh. Narmada is one of the three leading rivers in peninsular India that flows from east to west along with the Tapti River and the Mahi River. It is one of the rivers in India that streams in a rift valley, flowing west between the Satpura and Vindhya ranges. River Son also was known as Sone, principal southern tributary of the Ganga River, rising in Madhya Pradesh state, central India. It streams through Manpur and then changes the path to the northeast. River Mahe originates in the cliffs of Wayanad in the Western Ghats and travels a total length of 54 km before closing in the Arabian Sea at Mahe. The Netravati River begins from YelaneeruGhat in Kudremukh of Karnataka, India. This river streams through the famous pilgrimage spot Dharmasthala and is considered one of the Holy and pure rivers of India.

Thus, option A (Narmada) is correct.

Note: The Narmada and the Tapti are major rivers that channel into the Arabian Sea. The Narmada starts in eastern Madhya Pradesh (India) and streams west over the state, through a tight valley between the Vindhya Range and spikes of the Satpura Range.
