Explanation

The Indian Railways is divided into several zones for administrative efficiency, each with a designated headquarters. According to the provided records, the North Eastern Railway (NER) is headquartered in Gorakhpur [2]. The East Central Railway (ECR), which commenced operations in 2002, has its headquarters in Hajipur [2]. The South East Central Railway (SECR), headquartered in Bilaspur, was formed by reorganizing divisions from the South Eastern Railway [2]. Finally, the South Eastern Railway (SER) is headquartered in Kolkata [2]. Matching these pairs: A-4 (North Eastern - Gorakhpur), B-3 (East Central - Hajipur), C-2 (South East Central - Bilaspur), and D-1 (South Eastern - Kolkata). This sequence corresponds to the code 4-3-2-1, making Option 4 the correct answer.
