Explanation

The correct answer is C because the Tapovan Vishnugarh Hydroelectric Project is a run of the river facility being constructed on the Dhauliganga River. This river is located in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. The project is owned and developed by NTPC Limited. It gained significant international attention in February 2021 when it was severely damaged by a flash flood triggered by a glacier burst in the Nanda Devi region.
