Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The pair Jagdalpur : Dandakaranya is correctly matched. Dandakaranya is a physiographic region sprawling over the Bastar district of Chhattisgarh, where Jagdalpur is the administrative headquarters [c3]. It is an undulating plateau drained by tributaries of the Mahanadi and Godavari rivers [c3]. Regarding the other options: Bhilwara is located in the Aravalli range region of Rajasthan, not the Malwa Plateau, which lies further south-east in Madhya Pradesh and south-eastern Rajasthan [c4]. Raurkela is situated in the Chota Nagpur Plateau region of Odisha, whereas Baghelkhand is located to the west in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Kandla is a major port in the Gulf of Kutch, Gujarat, while the Kathiawar Peninsula lies to its south. Thus, only Jagdalpur's association with the Dandakaranya region is geographically accurate.
