Answer: (D) Trimbak
The Godavari rises at Trimbakeshwar (Trimbak) in the Western Ghats near Nashik, Maharashtra, and flows east to the Bay of Bengal. Amarkantak in Madhya Pradesh is the source of the Narmada and the Son. The Nilgiris are the hills where the Eastern and Western Ghats meet, with Doddabetta as their highest peak. Siwara is not the source of the Godavari.
