Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The question requires matching South American countries with their respective capital cities. Argentina's capital is Buenos Aires [3]. Peru's capital is Lima [2]. Venezuela's capital is Caracas [1]. For Brazil, while Sao Paulo is its largest city and a major economic hub, the official capital is Brasília [3]. However, in the context of the provided options, Brazil must be paired with Sao Paulo (the only Brazilian city listed) to complete the match. Following this logic: Argentina (1) matches Buenos Aires (1), Brazil (2) matches Sao Paulo (4), Peru (3) matches Lima (3), and Venezuela (4) matches Caracas (2). This sequence (1-4-3-2) corresponds to code (b). Note that while Brasília is the administrative capital, Sao Paulo is frequently cited as Brazil's primary global city.
