  2. BBeas and Ravi only
  3. CChenab, Ravi and Satluj only

Explanation

The correct option is D because all five rivers mentioned flow through the state of Himachal Pradesh. 1. The Beas originates from the Beas Kund near the Rohtang Pass in Himachal Pradesh. 2. The Chenab is formed by the confluence of the Chandra and Bhaga rivers at Tandi in the Lahaul valley of Himachal Pradesh. 3. The Ravi originates in the Bara Banghal area of the Kangra district in Himachal Pradesh. 4. The Satluj enters Himachal Pradesh from Tibet at Shipki La and flows through several districts of the state. 5. The Yamuna flows along the eastern boundary of Himachal Pradesh, specifically touching the Sirmaur district. Since all five rivers have a presence in the state, option D is the most comprehensive and accurate choice.
