Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Chotanagpur Belt (List-II–1) is a major bauxite-bearing belt and therefore A matches 1; the Southern Belt (List-II–3) explicitly lists mica among its minerals, so B→3; the Western Belt (List-II–4) is noted for non‑ferrous metals including copper, giving C→4; and the Midland Belt (List‑II–2) lists manganese ore among its principal minerals, so D→2. These belt–mineral associations follow the mineral distributions described for the Chotanagpur and Midland belts and for the Southern and Western belts respectively [2].
