Correct:
B
Explanation
The correct matching of irrigation and power projects with their respective rivers is as follows: Bhakra Nangal is a major gravity dam constructed across the Sutlej river in Himachal Pradesh and Punjab. The Dul Hasti Hydroelectric Plant is located on the Chandra River, which is a significant tributary of the Chenab river in Jammu and Kashmir [1]. The Hirakud Dam, recognized as the longest earthen dam in India, is built across the Mahanadi river in Odisha. Finally, the Tehri Dam, which is the highest dam in India, is situated on the Bhagirathi river in Uttarakhand. Therefore, the correct sequence for A-B-C-D is 4 (Sutlej), 3 (Chandra), 2 (Mahanadi), and 1 (Bhagirathi), which corresponds to option 2.
