Correct:
C
Explanation
The correct matching of mineral locations is as follows: Lakwa is a significant oil field located in the Sibsagar district of Assam, making it a key site for petroleum production. Malanjkhand, situated in the Balaghat district of Madhya Pradesh, is renowned as India's largest open-cast copper mine [1]. Kalakot (or Kalakote) in Jammu and Kashmir is a notable site for Tertiary coal deposits [2]. Zawar, located in the Udaipur district of Rajasthan, is famous for its lead and zinc mines, which are among the oldest and largest in the country [1]. Therefore, the correct sequence is A-2 (Lakwa-Petroleum), B-1 (Malanjkhand-Copper), C-4 (Kalakot-Coal), and D-3 (Zawar-Zinc). This corresponds to option 3 (2 1 4 3).
