Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

Central Drug Research Institute (CDRI) is located at Lucknow, which identifies A with the map spot for Lucknow [1]. The National Atlas and Thematic Mapping Organisation (NATMO) is based at Kolkata, linking B to the Kolkata location on the outline [2]. The National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) is headquartered at Chennai, matching C to the south-eastern coastal spot (Chennai). The Temperate/Himalayan Forest Research Centre is at Shimla, so D corresponds to the northern hill location (Shimla) [3]. Therefore the numbering that places Lucknow at 4, Kolkata at 3, Chennai at 2 and Shimla at 6 corresponds to option 1 (A-4, B-3, C-2, D-6).
