Which one of the following pairs of power projects is not correctly matched?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The pair Neyveli—Hydropower is incorrectly matched. Neyveli is a major center for lignite mining in Tamil Nadu, and the Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC) operates several thermal power stations there that use lignite as fuel. Specifically, the Neyveli New Thermal Power Project is a 1GW lignite-fired facility. In contrast, Papanasam is a hydroelectric project located on the Tamirabarani River in the Tirunelveli district [2]. The Ukai project in Gujarat includes a significant thermal power station fueled by coal. Rana Pratap Sagar is a well-known hydroelectric plant situated on the Chambal River in Rajasthan [2]. While Tamil Nadu has many hydroelectric projects like Mettur and Papanasam, Neyveli's power generation is fundamentally thermal, based on its extensive lignite deposits [1].
