Explanation

The correct matching of founders to their respective institutes is as follows: Vikram Sarabhai founded the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) in Ahmedabad in 1947, which served as the cradle of India's space program [4]. Homi J. Bhabha was the driving force behind the establishment of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) in 1945, aimed at promoting mathematics and pure sciences [2]. C.N.R. Rao is the founding director of the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), established to commemorate Nehru's centenary. P.C. Mahalanobis founded the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) in 1931, pioneering statistical science in India. Therefore, the correct sequence is A-4 (Sarabhai-PRL), B-3 (Bhabha-TIFR), C-2 (Rao-JNCASR), and D-1 (Mahalanobis-ISI), corresponding to option 1.
