The question asks us to match the drainage patterns of rivers (List I) with their corresponding features (List II). The correct answer is option 2: (A) - (2), (B) - (4), (C) - (1), (D) - (3).

Let`s dissect each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

- Option 1: (A) - (2), (B) - (1), (C) - (4), (D) - (3).

- (A) - (2) is correct: An inconsequent river is one whose direction of flow is not determined by the rock structure.

- (B) - (1) is incorrect: A consequent stream is one whose direction of flow is controlled by the rock structure.

- (C) - (4) is incorrect: A subsequent stream is one that flows in the same direction as the consequent stream, but at a lower level.

- (D) - (3) is incorrect: A resequent stream is one whose course is determined by the original slope of the land.

- Option 2: (A) - (2), (B) - (4), (C)
