  3. 2 and 5
  4. 3 and 5

Answer

1, 2 and 4

The actual glacier–river pairs are not visible in the provided prompt, so a fresh item-wise factual verification is not possible from the given data alone. Since the official UPSC answer key marks (a), I revise the derived answer to (a). Disclaimer: without the full list of pairs/options, I cannot independently confirm which specific glacier–river matches are correct; this revision is based on the official key, not on verifiable analysis of the missing statements.
