Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The correct matching of major dams to their respective states is as follows: Cheruthoni Dam is located in Kerala, specifically in the Idukki district across the Cheruthoni River. The Indira Sagar Dam is a major project on the Narmada River situated in the Khandwa district of Madhya Pradesh. The Krishnarajasagar Dam (KRS) is built across the Kaveri River near Mysore in the state of Karnataka.

These dams are vital for irrigation, power generation, and water supply in their respective regions, with Indira Sagar notably possessing one of the largest reservoirs in India.
