Explanation

The Ural Mountains are located in Russia and serve as a traditional boundary between Europe and Asia [4]. The Appalachians are an old fold mountain system situated in North America, stretching from Canada to the southern United States [1]. The Drakensberg Mountains are the highest mountain range in Southern Africa, primarily located in South Africa and Lesotho. The Andes Mountains are the world's longest continental mountain range, running along the western edge of South America. Matching these locations: Ural (A) corresponds to Russia (3), Appalachians (B) to North America (4), Drakensberg (C) to South Africa (2), and Andes (D) to South America (1). This sequence (3, 4, 2, 1) aligns with option 2.
