Question

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step reasoning:

1. The northern plains of the Indian subcontinent are formed by the interplay of the three major river systems: the Indus, the Ganga and the Brahmaputra — i.e. $3$ major rivers contributing to the plain.
2. Options given: (a) Brahmaputra, (b) Indus, (c) Ganga, (d) Godavari.
3. The Godavari is a peninsular (Deccan) river flowing south/east into the Bay of Bengal and does not contribute to the formation of the northern plains.

Therefore the odd one out is the Godavari (option d).
