Explanation

The major coalfields of India are primarily located in the Gondwana formations across several states. Jharia, located in the Dhanbad district, is the most significant coalfield in Jharkhand and is renowned for its high-quality coking coal [t1][t4][t7]. Raniganj, situated in West Bengal, is historically significant as the site of India's first coal mining efforts [t3][t8]. Talcher is a major coalfield located in the state of Odisha (formerly Orissa), featuring some of the country's thickest coal seams [t2][t4]. Korba is a vital coal-producing region in Chhattisgarh, operated largely by South Eastern Coalfields Ltd [t5][t7]. Matching these locations: A-Jharia (Jharkhand/3), B-Raniganj (West Bengal/4), C-Talcher (Orissa/2), and D-Korba (Chhattisgarh/5). This corresponds to the sequence 3, 4, 2, 5, making Option 1 the correct answer.
