Amravati, Bhavani, Hemavati and Kabini are tributaries of which one of the following rivers?

The Amravati, Bhavani, Hemavati, and Kabini are all significant tributaries of the Kaveri (also known as Cauvery) river [2]. The Kaveri rises in the Brahmagiri range of the Western Ghats in Karnataka and flows approximately 800 km before reaching the Bay of Bengal [1]. Its drainage basin covers parts of Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu [1]. Specifically, the Hemavati and Arkavati are major left-bank tributaries, while the Kabini, Bhavani, and Amravati are prominent right-bank tributaries [2]. The Kabini originates in Kerala and joins the Kaveri in Karnataka, whereas the Bhavani and Amravati join the main river in Tamil Nadu. These tributaries are vital for the extensive irrigation systems and hydroelectric projects throughout the Kaveri basin [2][t2].
