Correct:
D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 (A-3, B-1, C-2, D-4). This matching is based on the geographical locations of prominent UNESCO World Heritage Sites in India:
- A. Brihadisvara Temple (3): Located in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, this Chola architectural masterpiece is part of the "Great Living Chola Temples."
- B. Ellora Caves (1): Situated in the Aurangabad district of Maharashtra, these represent a mix of Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain rock-cut architecture.
- C. Hampi (2): The capital of the Vijayanagara Empire is located in the Bellary district of Karnataka, famous for its Dravidian style monuments.
- D. Mahabodhi Temple (4): Located in Bodh Gaya, Bihar, it marks the site where Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment.
Options 1, 2, and 3 are incorrect because they misplace these sites. For instance, placing Brihadisvara in Bihar (Option 1/2) or Hampi in Maharashtra (Option 3) contradicts historical and geographical facts.
