Explanation:

Question 1

In Hinduism, the Ganges River (The Ganges River) is considered sacred. The Indus River is important for the Indus Valley civilization, while the Godavari and Mahanadi are significant but not as sacred to Hindus as the Ganges.

The mountain ranges (like the Himalayas) in South Asia separate it from the rest of Asia, forming a subcontinent. An island is surrounded by water, a peninsula is a landform surrounded by water on three sides (South Asia is not a typical peninsula in this context), and a continent is a large landmass. So the correct term is subcontinent.

Answer:

A. The Ganges River
