;
River Son is a tributary of river Ganga in the south.
The Son River originates in the state of Madhya Pradesh in central India, and it flows northward towards the River Ganga. It joins the Ganga near Patna, capital of Bihar, in a south-to-north direction, making option (c) South the correct answer.
The 'Food Bowl of India' is known as the Punjab Plain.
The Punjab Plain is renowned for its fertile land and is a well-irrigated region due to rivers like the Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi.

Both these questions relate to significant geographical features and terms, which are key in understanding the agricultural and hydrological characteristics of the Indian subcontinent.
