Explanation:
Among the rivers mentioned, the Jhelum, Ravi, and Sutlej all ultimately merge with the Chenab. The Chenab then joins the Indus directly.
Jhelum merges with the Chenab at Trimmu in Pakistan.
Ravi joins Chenab downstream of the confluence of Jhelum and Chenab.
Sutlej merges with Beas, and then this combined river merges with the Chenab to form the Panjnad, which then joins the Indus.
Therefore, the correct answer is Chenab.
