Explanation

The distribution of minerals in India follows distinct regional patterns. Bauxite is primarily produced in Odisha (Orissa), which accounts for over 49% of India's total production, with major deposits in the Kalahandi-Koraput belt [3]. Mica is significantly associated with Andhra Pradesh, particularly the Nellore mica belt and Gudur mines, making it a leading producer. Copper production is dominated by Madhya Pradesh, specifically the Malanjkhand open-cast mines in Balaghat district, which is the largest copper deposit in the country. Zinc is predominantly found in Rajasthan, which holds the country's largest resources at sites like Rampura-Agucha and Zawar [3]. Therefore, the correct matching is A-2 (Bauxite-Orissa), B-1 (Mica-Andhra Pradesh), C-3 (Copper-Madhya Pradesh), and D-4 (Zinc-Rajasthan), corresponding to option 2.
