Question map
Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the code given below the lists: List I (Volcano) A. Mount Etna B. Kilimanjaro C. Katmai D. Barren Island List II (Country) 1. India 2. U.S.A. 3. Tanzania 4. Italy Code : A B C D
Explanation
The correct matching of volcanoes to their respective countries is as follows: Mount Etna is an active stratovolcano located on the east coast of Sicily, Italy [t1][t2]. Mount Kilimanjaro, known for its three volcanic cones (Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira), is a dormant volcano situated in Tanzania [t1][t6]. Mount Katmai is a large stratovolcano located on the Alaska Peninsula within the United States of America (U.S.A.), specifically inside Katmai National Park and Preserve [t1][t8]. Barren Island is the only confirmed active volcano in India, located in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands [c1][c2][t4]. Therefore, the correct sequence for A-B-C-D is 4-3-2-1, which corresponds to Option 4. This mapping aligns with global volcanic distribution patterns where Etna and Katmai are part of active tectonic zones, while Kilimanjaro represents the East African Rift's volcanic activity.
