Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The matching of steel mills to their respective states is as follows: Kalinganagar is a major steel hub located in Odisha, housing plants by Tata Steel and Jindal Stainless [1]. Vijayanagar Steel Plant, operated by JSW Steel, is situated in the Ballari district of Karnataka [2]. Salem Steel Plant is a special steel unit of SAIL located in Tamil Nadu [4]. Durgapur Steel Plant, established with British assistance, is located in West Bengal along the Damodar River [4]. Therefore, the correct sequence is A-3 (Kalinganagar-Odisha), B-4 (Vijayanagar-Karnataka), C-2 (Salem-Tamil Nadu), and D-1 (Durgapur-West Bengal). This corresponds to option 3. These plants represent a mix of public sector units under SAIL and large-scale private investments that define India's industrial landscape.
