Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

3 and 4 only

Solution :

The correct option is 3 and 4 only.

Let us analyze each pair step-by-step to understand why they are correctly or incorrectly matched:

1. Mekong - Andaman Sea (Incorrect):
The Mekong River is one of the longest rivers in Southeast Asia. It flows through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam, and empties into the South China Sea (specifically the Mekong Delta), not the Andaman Sea.

2. Thames - Irish Sea (Incorrect):
The River Thames is the longest river entirely in England. It flows through London and empties into the North Sea on the eastern coast of Great Britain, not the Irish Sea.

3. Volga - Caspian Sea (Correct):
The Volga River is the longest river in Europe and flows through Central Russia. It drains into the closed basin of the Caspian Sea.

4. Zambezi - Indian Ocean (Correct):
The Zambezi is the fourth-longest river in Africa. It flows through several countries in southern Africa, including Zambia, Angola, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique, before emptying into the Indian Ocean.

Therefore, only pairs 3 and 4 are correctly matched.
