Correct:
D
Explanation
All three pairs are correctly matched based on the historical milestones of Indian industry. The first successful modern cotton mill was established in Bombay in 1854 by C.N. Davar. The manufacture of machine-made paper began at the Bally Mill near Calcutta around 1870. Finally, India's first cement factory was indeed set up in Madras in 1904. While there were earlier unsuccessful attempts for cotton and paper, these specific dates and locations are the standard benchmarks used to mark the effective birth of these modern sectors in India.
