Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The labelled centres correspond as follows: 1 — Sikka (Gujarat, west coast), 2 — Katni (Madhya Pradesh, central India), 3 — Churk (Sonbhadra area, eastern Uttar Pradesh), and 4 — Tirunelveli (Tamil Nadu, southern tip). This mapping matches option 2 (A-2, B-4, C-1, D-3). Katni is a recognised cement plant/grinding location in Madhya Pradesh, and Tirunelveli is identified as a southern Tamil Nadu industrial/mineral locality [1]. The assignment uses geographic logic: Sikka on the western coast (Gujarat), Katni in central India, Churk in eastern UP and Tirunelveli in the far south — these spatial positions align with the map numbering and support option 2.
