Explanation

The Indian Railways is organized into several operational zones, each with a designated headquarters. According to official records, the South-Eastern Railway is headquartered at Garden Reach, Kolkata [4]. The South-Central Railway, established in 1966, has its headquarters in Secunderabad [2]. The South-Western Railway, which serves regions like Karnataka, is headquartered in Hubli [3]. Finally, the South-East-Central Railway, which is a vital zone for coal transportation, is headquartered in Bilaspur [3]. Matching these pairs: A (South-Eastern) corresponds to 2 (Kolkata), B (South-Central) to 1 (Secunderabad), C (South-Western) to 4 (Hubli), and D (South-East-Central) to 3 (Bilaspur). This sequence (2, 1, 4, 3) aligns with Option 1.
