The correct answer is option 1: Mahanadi. The Hirakud Dam has been built on the Mahanadi River. The Mahanadi River is one of the major rivers in India, flowing through the states of Chhattisgarh and Odisha. The Hirakud Dam is located in the state of Odisha and is one of the longest dams in the world. It was built across the Mahanadi River to regulate the river flow, provide irrigation water for agriculture, generate hydroelectricity, and prevent floods in the surrounding regions. The dam has played a significant role in the development of the region by facilitating irrigation and power generation.
