Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 (A-3, B-4, C-1, D-2). This matching is based on the geographical location of prominent historical and cultural landmarks in India.

  • A-3: The Ellora Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its rock-cut architecture (including the Kailasa temple), are located in the Aurangabad district of Maharashtra.
  • B-4: The Nilachal Hills are situated in Guwahati, Assam. This site is most famous for being the home of the Kamakhya Temple, one of the oldest Shakti Peethas.
  • C-1: Auroville, an experimental township founded by Mirra Alfassa (The Mother), is located primarily in the state of Tamil Nadu, near the Union Territory of Puducherry.
  • D-2: Sarnath, where Gautama Buddha delivered his first sermon, is a major pilgrimage site located near Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh.

Other options are incorrect as they misalign these specific cultural landmarks with their respective cities.
