Explanation

The question requires matching major world grasslands with their respective countries. Llanos are tropical grasslands located in northern South America, primarily in Venezuela and Colombia. Prairies are temperate grasslands found in North America, specifically covering large parts of the USA and Canada [2]. Pampas are the fertile temperate grasslands of South America, located mainly in Argentina and Uruguay [4]. Downs refers to the temperate grasslands found in the Murray-Darling basin of Australia [4]. Therefore, the correct mapping is A-2 (Llanos-Venezuela), B-3 (Prairies-USA), C-4 (Pampas-Argentina), and D-1 (Downs-Australia). This corresponds to the sequence 2, 3, 4, 1, making option 4 the correct choice.
