The correct answer is Option 2: A-1, B-4, C-2, D-3.

Let`s analyze each option and match the geographic features with their respective countries:

Option 1: A-1, B-2, C-4, D-3

According to this option, the Great Victoria Desert (A) is matched with Canada (1), which is incorrect. The Great Victoria Desert is located in Australia, not Canada. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

Option 2: A-1, B-4, C-2, D-3

In this option, the Great Victoria Desert (A) is correctly matched with Australia (1). The Grand Canyon (B) is matched with the United States (4), which is accurate because the Grand Canyon is a prominent natural feature located in Arizona, USA. Lake Winnipeg (C) is matched with Canada (2), which is correct as Lake Winnipeg is the largest lake in Manitoba, Canada. Finally, the Southern Alps (D) are matched with New Zealand (3). The Southern Alps are a mountain range that runs along the South Island of New Zealand. Therefore, Option 2 is the correct match.

Option 3: A-3, B-2, C-4, D-1

In this option, the Great Victoria Desert (A) is incorrectly matched with New Zealand (3). As mentioned earlier, the Great Victoria Desert is located in Australia, not New Zealand. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

Option 4: A-3, B-4, C-2, D-1

According to this option, the Great Victoria Desert (A) is again incorrectly matched with New Zealand (3). The Grand Canyon (B) is matched with the United States (4), which is correct. Lake Winnipeg (C) is matched with Canada (2), which is accurate. However, the Southern Alps (D) are matched with Australia (1), which is incorrect. The Southern Alps are located in New Zealand, not Australia. Therefore, Option 4 is also incorrect.

Based on the analysis above, Option 2: A-1, B-4, C-2, D-3 is the correct answer as it correctly matches each geographic feature with its corresponding country.
