Explanation

The Indian Railway network is divided into several zones for efficient management. Based on official records and geographical distribution, the headquarters are matched as follows: (A) West Central Railway is headquartered in Jabalpur [3]. (B) South East Central Railway has its headquarters in Bilaspur [3]. (C) East Central Railway, which covers parts of Bihar and Jharkhand, is headquartered in Hajipur [2]. (D) North Eastern Railway is headquartered in Gorakhpur [2]. Matching these pairs (A-1, B-3, C-4, D-2) corresponds to the sequence 1-3-4-2. These zones were established at different times to streamline operations; for instance, the East Central zone commenced operations in 2002 [2], while the North Eastern zone was formed in 1952 [2].
