The correct answer is the Amazon. This river has a discharge of 210,000 CMS. The second largest riven the the world in terms of discharge is the Zaire, at 40,000 CMS.
The Nile is actually 25th largest river in the world, in terms of discharge, with a discharge flow of 5,000 CMS. Remember that the Nile runs through vast amounts of desert.
It's common knowledge that the Nile is the longest river in the world, but it is absolutely not the largest in terms of flow.
