Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The arrangement of Indian oil refineries from west to east is determined by their longitudinal positions. Koyali (Gujarat Refinery) is located near Vadodara, Gujarat, at approximately 73°07' E [2]. Kochi refinery is situated in Kerala at approximately 76°16' E [1]. Panipat refinery in Haryana is located further east at approximately 76°56' E [2]. Mathura refinery in Uttar Pradesh is the easternmost among these four, located at approximately 77°41' E [2]. The Salaya-Koyali-Mathura pipeline sequence also confirms that Koyali is west of Mathura, with Panipat being an extension of the Mathura line [2]. Therefore, the correct west-to-east sequence is Koyali (Gujarat), Kochi (Kerala), Panipat (Haryana), and Mathura (Uttar Pradesh).
