In the map, river 1 was the easternmost and corresponded to the Kosi; moving west-north-west the next three labels matched the tributaries Gomati, Ghaghara and Gandak in that order. Hence the sequence 1-Kosi, 2-Gomati, 3-Ghaghara, 4-Gandak given in option (a) is correct, whereas the other options mix up the east-to-west positions of these rivers.
