Match List-I with List-II and select the correct answer using the code given below the Lists : List-I (Power Plant) A. Satpura B. Dhuvaran C. Tanakpur D. Dabhol List-II (State) 1. Maharashtra 2. Uttarakhand 3. Gujarat 4. Madhya Pradesh Code :

The correct matching of power plants to their respective states is as follows: Satpura Thermal Power Station is located in the Betul district of Madhya Pradesh. Dhuvaran (often spelled Dhuvaram) is a thermal power plant situated in Gujarat. Tanakpur is a significant hydroelectric project located in the Champawat district of Uttarakhand, situated on the Sharda River. Dabhol Power Station, known for its natural gas-fired plant, is located in the Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra. Therefore, the mapping is A-4 (Satpura-Madhya Pradesh), B-3 (Dhuvaran-Gujarat), C-2 (Tanakpur-Uttarakhand), and D-1 (Dabhol-Maharashtra). This corresponds to the sequence 4, 3, 2, 1, making Option 1 the correct answer. While some sources note that Uttarakhand is devoid of major thermal production [1], it hosts several hydroelectric plants like Tanakpur.
