The question requires you to match different minerals with the location where they are predominantly found.

In the correct answer, option 3, Coal is matched with Giridih, which is known for its coal reserves and is located in the Indian state of Jharkhand.

Copper is paired with Alwar. While this region does not primarily produce Copper, the options given here might confuse students as none of the locations listed is particularly renowned for copper.

The pairing of Manganese with Dharwar is accurate. Dharwar, in the Indian state of Karnataka, is known for Manganese production among other minerals. Finally, pairing Lignite with Jayamkondam is also accurate, as Jayamkondam in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu has large reserves of lignite.

An overview of the incorrect answers:

In option 1, Copper and Manganese are wrongly linked with Dharwar and Alwar.

Option 2 has all the minerals linked to incorrect places.

Option 4 also incorrectly associates Coal and Copper with Jayamkondam and Dharwar.
