Explanation

Temperate grasslands are treeless biomes located in the interiors of continents, known by different regional names. Prairies are the extensive grasslands of North America, situated between the Rockies and the Great Lakes [1][3][4]. Steppes refer to the mid-latitude grasslands of Eurasia, stretching from the Black Sea to Central Asia [2][3][4]. Pampas are the fertile grasslands found in South America, specifically covering parts of Argentina and Uruguay [3][4]. Veldt (or Veld) refers to the temperate grasslands of South Africa, often divided into High Veld and Bush-veld [3][4]. Matching these pairs: A-3 (Prairies-North America), B-1 (Steppes-Eurasia), C-4 (Pampas-South America), and D-2 (Veldt-South Africa) results in the sequence 3 1 4 2, which corresponds to option 3.
