Correct Answer: Shimsha River
Solution : The correct option is Shimsha River.
One of the Kaveri River's tributaries is the Shimsha. The river originates in Tumkur's Devarayanadurga hills. At Chamarajanagar, it enters the Cauvery after flowing for around 221 km from its source. After originating in the Tumkur district, the river takes a southerly course and enters the Mandya district. In Mandya district, the river flows in a south-eastern direction and has a waterfall at Shimshapura in Malavalli Taluk. Just after Shimshapura, it reaches the border of Chamarajanagar district, where it joins the river Kaveri. The confluence of Shimsha and Kaveri is also near Shivanasamudra Falls.
