CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. The treaty splits the Indus system into eastern and western rivers.

  2. The eastern rivers — the Ravi, the Beas and the Sutlej — are for India's unrestricted use.

  3. The western rivers — the Indus, the Jhelum and the Chenab — are allotted to Pakistan.

Worth noting

The division is by name, not by geography: all six rise in or flow through India before crossing the border.
