Answer 1

Yamuna

Explanation:

The Yamuna is recognised as one of the most heavily polluted rivers in India, particularly along the stretch that flows through Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. It receives immense amounts of untreated domestic sewage, industrial waste, and urban runoff every day, resulting in toxic levels that are critically high and low dissolved oxygen.
