Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) Shyok - Zaskar - Spiti - Satluj
From north to south the rivers align as: Shyok (originating near the Rimo Glacier, Ladakh, ~34° N) → Zaskar (Ladakh, ~33–34° N) → Spiti (Himachal Pradesh, ~32° N) → Satluj (enters India near Shipki La and flows south-west, ~31° N). This sequence matches option (b); any other ordering misplaces at least two rivers. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shyok_River?utm_source=openai))
