Match List-I with List-II and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists : List-I (Fertilizer Industry)
Explanation
The fertilizer industry in India is strategically distributed across various states based on raw material availability. Aluva, located in Kerala, is home to the Fertilizers and Chemicals Travancore Limited (FACT) [c1]. Namrup is a significant fertilizer hub in Assam, housing units of the Hindustan Fertilizer Corporation Limited (HFC) [c1][t1]. Nangal, situated in the Rupnagar district of Punjab, is a major production center for National Fertilizers Limited (NFL), specializing in calcium ammonium nitrate [c1][t2]. Sindri, located in the Dhanbad district of Jharkhand, was the site of India's first public sector chemical fertilizer plant established in 1951 [c1][c5]. Matching these locations: Aluva-Kerala (3), Namrup-Assam (1), Nangal-Punjab (4), and Sindri-Jharkhand (2) results in the sequence 3-1-4-2, which corresponds to option (c).
