The correct answer is
Amarkantak plateau
Amarkantak plateau is correct.
The Narmada rises from a kund at Amarkantak, on the Maikal range in the Anuppur district of Madhya Pradesh, at a height of about 1,057 m.
It then flows west through a rift valley between the Vindhya and Satpura ranges and enters the Arabian Sea through the Gulf of Khambhat, making it the largest west-flowing river of peninsular India.
Trimbakeshwar near Nashik is the source of the Godavari, and Multai in Betul district is the source of the Tapi.
