Which among the following rivers flows into Arabian sea?

The Narmada is a major west-flowing peninsular river that originates in central India and flows through a rift valley between the Vindhyan and Satpura ranges [c5, t7]. It travels approximately 1,312 km before discharging its waters into the Arabian Sea south of Bharuch, where it forms a broad estuary [c5]. In contrast, the Godavari and Krishna are major east-flowing peninsular rivers that originate in the Western Ghats and drain into the Bay of Bengal [c2, c4, t1]. The Yamuna is a primary tributary of the Ganga river system, which also eventually flows into the Bay of Bengal [c3, t4, t9]. While most large peninsular rivers flow eastward due to the general slope of the plateau, the Narmada and Tapi are notable exceptions that flow westward into the Arabian Sea [c1, c2, t3].
