Answer: D
The Saraswati, identified with the Ghaggar-Hakra system, is known in Pakistan by several names: Hakra, Wahinda, Nara and Raini are all listed as its names, so all four are correct.
An option naming only some of them is therefore incomplete: (i) and (iii), (i) and (ii), and (i), (ii) and (iii) each leave out at least one name. The river's dry bed in Cholistan and Sind is called the Hakra, and its lower course the Nara. The Saraswati of the Rig Veda is generally linked to the Ghaggar-Hakra channel, which flows through Rajasthan and into Pakistan.
