Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Penna
The Gandikota gorge, called the Grand Canyon of India, is in the Kadapa (YSR) district of Andhra Pradesh. It was cut by the Penna (Pennar) river through the Erramala hills, and its steep red rock walls and the Gandikota fort on the cliff edge give it the look of the Grand Canyon of the United States.
The Penna rises in the Nandi Hills of Karnataka and flows east through Andhra Pradesh into the Bay of Bengal.
