Option 1: Indravati

The Indravati river does not flow into the Arabian Sea. It is a tributary of the Godavari river and flows through the states of Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha in India.

Option 2: Godavari

The Godavari river is the second-longest river in India and indeed flows into the Arabian Sea. It originates in the state of Maharashtra and travels through the states of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and ends at its mouth in the Arabian Sea in Andhra Pradesh.

Option 3: Kaveri

The Kaveri river, also known as the Cauvery river, does not flow into the Arabian Sea. It is a major river in southern India and flows through the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, eventually emptying into the Bay of Bengal.

Option 4: Narmada

The Narmada river is the correct answer. It originates in the state of Madhya Pradesh and flows westward through the states of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat. It eventually empties into the Arabian Sea, making it the only option that fulfills the criteria mentioned in the question.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4,
