Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The pair 'Hyundai: Germany' is incorrectly matched. Hyundai is a South Korean multinational automotive manufacturer headquartered in Seoul [t5][t8]. It operates the world's largest integrated automobile manufacturing facility in Ulsan, South Korea [t8]. The name Hyundai is synonymous with South Korean industrial growth, and its luxury division, Genesis, also originates from South Korea [t3]. In contrast, Fiat is an Italian brand, an acronym for 'Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino' [t10], and is correctly matched with Italy [t5]. Nissan and Toyota are both prominent Japanese manufacturers [t3][t5]. Nissan's Japanese origin is further evidenced by its historical collaborations with Indian defense factories for vehicle production [c1][c4]. Therefore, while Fiat, Nissan, and Toyota are correctly paired with their respective countries of origin (Italy and Japan), Hyundai is incorrectly attributed to Germany instead of South Korea.
