Correct Answer: centripetal


Solution : The correct option is centripetal.

The term "centripetal" refers to a force or influence that acts towards the centre or a central point. In the context of geography and drainage systems, "centripetal drainage" typically refers to a pattern where rivers and streams flow towards a central point, often converging into a central basin or lake. This is contrasted with "centrifugal drainage," where rivers flow away from a central point.
