The sentence that contains correct capitalization is:

The Red and Arkansas Rivers run generally west to east.

In this sentence, "Red" and "Arkansas" are proper nouns, so they are correctly capitalized as the names of rivers. Additionally, "west" and "east" are not capitalized as they are not used as proper nouns in this context.
