Correct:
A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 (I-C, II-D, III-B, IV-A). This matching is based on the established industrial hubs of India:
- Koraput (I-C): Located in Odisha, Koraput is famous for its Aluminium industry, specifically the National Aluminium Company (NALCO) refinery, which utilizes the region's rich bauxite deposits.
- Nangal (II-D): Nangal in Punjab is a prominent center for the Fertilizer industry, home to the National Fertilizers Limited (NFL) plant.
- Vadodara (III-B): Known as the "Gateway to the Golden Corridor," Vadodara (Gujarat) is a major hub for the Petrochemical industry, housing the Gujarat Refinery and IPCL.
- Ranchi (IV-A): Ranchi (Jharkhand) is synonymous with Heavy Engineering due to the presence of the Heavy Engineering Corporation (HEC), often called the "Mother of Industries."
Options 3 and 4 are incorrect because Koraput is not associated with Zinc smelting (E), which is primarily centered in Udaipur. Option 2 is incorrect as it misidentifies the industries in Nangal and Vadodara.
