Correct:
D
Explanation
Option 4 is correct. The Amaravati Buddhist stupa and associated remains are located in the Amaravati/Guntur region of Andhra Pradesh, as noted in historical and archaeological accounts [1]. Vikramashila (Vikramsila) is the medieval mahavihara at Antichak, Bhagalpur in Bihar, not in Uttar Pradesh [2]. The Udayagiri caves referenced among major rock‑cut groups are in Odisha rather than Maharashtra [3]. Hemkund Gurudwara (Hemkund Sahib) is a Himalayan Sikh shrine cited in official material [4], but it is situated in Uttarakhand (Chamoli district), not Himachal Pradesh. Hence only Amaravati–Andhra Pradesh is correctly matched.
