▶ Answer & Explanation
Correct answer: D. It is lost in the marshy land of the Rann of Kuchchh
The Luni River originates in the Aravalli Range and flows through Rajasthan and Gujarat. It is an endorheic river, meaning it does not reach the sea. Instead, its course terminates in the vast saline marshland known as the Rann of Kutch, where it disappears into the sand and salt deposits.
