Explanation
The correct matching of the temples to their respective towns is as follows: The Kailasanathar Temple is a prominent structural temple located in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, representing early Dravidian architecture [1]. The Lingaraj Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is situated in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, and is a masterpiece of the Kalinga architectural style. The Kandariya Mahadev Temple is the largest and most ornate temple in the Khajuraho group of monuments in Madhya Pradesh. Finally, the Dilwara Temples are a world-famous group of Jain temples located at Mount Abu, Rajasthan, known for their extraordinary marble carvings. Therefore, the correct sequence is A-4, B-1, C-2, and D-3, which corresponds to option 2.
