Correct:
B
Explanation
Option 2 is not correctly matched. The Central Organisation for Railway Electrification (CORE) was established at Nagpur in Maharashtra, not Varanasi [1]. The other three pairs are correctly matched: the Railway Staff College (National Academy of Indian Railways) is at Vadodara [2]; the Wheel & Axle plant (Rail Wheel Factory / Wheel and Axle Plant) is located in Bangalore; and the Rail Coach Factory at Kapurthala is a principal coach manufacturing unit of Indian Railways [3]. Therefore the wrongly matched pair is Central Organization for Railway Electrification — Varanasi (Option 2).
