Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation:
The Kosi River originates in Tibet and flows through Nepal and India. It is known as the 'Sorrow of Bihar' because it carries a massive amount of silt from the Himalayas and frequently changes its course during the monsoon, causing devastating floods in the plains of Bihar. It is a major left-bank tributary of the Ganga.
