Answer 1

Hudson begins in the "Adirondack Mountains" and ends at "New York Harbor" and the "Atlantic Ocean" is the true statement.

Option (b);

EXPLANATION:

Hudson is a river around 507 km. It flows from north direction to south through the east part of New York. The river starts in 'Adirondack Mountains' and flows across the 'Hudson Valley'. It then flows to the bay which is between New York and Jersey.

It then ends at New York Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. It has played a significant role during the French and Indian wars. It was also very helpful and profitable during Colonial times. Hudson river flows both ways, making it tidal estuary.
