    A Ganges and Yamuna Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Brahmaputra and Sutlej Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Indus and Ganges Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Brahmaputra and Indus Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    China and India established the Expert Level Mechanism (ELM) in 2006 to address trans-border river issues. Under this agreement, China provides India with hydrological data on the Brahmaputra (known as Yarlung Zangbu in China) and Sutlej rivers during flood seasons. For the Brahmaputra River, China provides data from three monitoring stations: Nugesha, Yangcun, and Nuxia. This data sharing is crucial for flood forecasting and disaster management in India's northeastern states and Himalayan regions.
