Explanation
Geographically, these four islands in the Indian Ocean can be identified based on their latitudinal and longitudinal positions:
- Socotra (D): Located near the Horn of Africa/Yemen, it is the northernmost island in the group. On the map, it corresponds to marker 2.
- Mauritius (C): Located east of Madagascar, it is the southernmost island among the four. It corresponds to marker 4.
- Seychelles (A): Located north of Madagascar and west of the Chagos Archipelago. Being further west and slightly north of Chagos, it is marked as 1.
- Chagos (B): Located in the central Indian Ocean, east of the Seychelles. It is marked as 3.
Therefore, the correct mapping is A:1, B:3, C:4, and D:2, which matches Option A.
