Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The Godavari River is one of the longest rivers in India and primarily drains the following states:

• Maharashtra (originates here)
• Telangana
• Andhra Pradesh
• Parts of Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh

Odisha lies to the east of these states and is drained by other rivers like the Mahanadi, Brahmani, and Baitarani, not the Godavari.

Hence, among the given options, Odisha is not drained by the Godavari River.
