Explanation
The Ganga basin extends beyond the core Gangetic plain: northern Chhattisgarh drains into the Ganga system through Son tributaries like the Rihand; Himachal Pradesh contributes through Yamuna tributaries such as the Tons; and Rajasthan contributes through the Chambal and Banas. All three states thus have territory within the Ganga basin. Hence option D is correct.
