What name does Brahmaputra take as is discharges into the Bay of Bengal ?
Options:
A .  Jamuna
B .  Padma
C .  Meghna
D .  Ganga
Answer: Option C
Answer: (c)
The Padma is the name used in Bangladesh for a major transboundary river, known in India as the main distributary of the Ganges, the river system that originated in the western Himalayas.
The Padma enters Bangladesh from India near Chapai Nababganj. It meets the Jamuna near Aricha and retains its name, but finally meets with the Meghna near Chandpur and adopts the name 'Meghna' before flowing into the Bay of Bengal.
