Which one of the following rivers flow between Vindhyan and Satpura ranges?

The Narmada River is a major west-flowing river in central India that flows through a distinct rift valley [c1][c4]. Geographically, it is situated between the Vindhyan Range to the north and the Satpura Range to the south [c4][t3]. Originating from the Amarkantak Plateau, it travels approximately 1,312 km before emptying into the Arabian Sea via the Gulf of Khambat [c4][t3]. While the Tapi River also flows in a rift valley parallel to the Narmada, it is located south of the Satpura Range, specifically between the Satpuras and the Ajanta Range [c1][c2]. Other options like the Sone flow northwards towards the Ganges [c3][c5], and the Mahi and Netravati have different courses; the Mahi originates in the Vindhyas but flows through the plains of Gujarat [c2][t8], while the Netravati is a coastal river of the Western Ghats [t6].
