Explanation
The matching of limestone regions to their respective countries is as follows: The Pennines are a major limestone region located in Britain, specifically noted for Carboniferous limestone in Yorkshire and Derbyshire [1]. The Yucatan Peninsula is a famous karst landscape in Mexico, known for its extensive cenotes and coastal limestone formations [1]. Cockpit Country is the classic karst region of Jamaica, characterized by its unique 'cockpit' depressions [1]. The Causses are high limestone plateaus located in southern France [1]. Therefore, the correct sequence is A-3 (Pennines-Britain), B-4 (Yucatan-Mexico), C-2 (Cockpit Country-Jamaica), and D-1 (Causses-France). This corresponds to the code 3, 4, 2, 1, making option 1 the correct choice.
