Match List-I with List II and select the correct answer using the code given below the Lists

List-1 (Phase of Industrial Revolution) | (Feature)
A.   First phase | 1. Rise of steel,chemical,electricity,industries
B.   Third phase | 2. Rise of cotton mill
C.   Second phase | 3. Rise of steam engine
D.   Fourth phase | 4. Rise of petrochemicals,jet aircraft,computers

The correct answer is Option 2 (A-2, B-1, C-3, D-4). This classification aligns with the historical evolution of global industrialization:

• A-2 (First Phase): Beginning in the late 18th century, the First Industrial Revolution was centered on the mechanization of textiles, primarily the rise of cotton mills in Britain.
• B-1 (Third Phase): Often associated with the late 19th and early 20th centuries (sometimes termed the "Second" in different contexts, but here identified as Third), it marked the rise of steel, chemicals, and electricity.
• C-3 (Second Phase): This phase saw the transition to heavy machinery driven by the rise of the steam engine, revolutionizing transport and manufacturing.
• D-4 (Fourth Phase): The mid-20th century onwards represents the rise of petrochemicals, jet aircraft, and computers, defining the modern technological era.

Option 2 is correct as it accurately sequences the transition from manual labor/textiles to heavy machinery, then to electrical/chemical industries, and finally to high-tech electronics.
