Explanation

The Indian Railway network is divided into several zones for administrative efficiency, each with a designated headquarters. According to the provided evidence, the North Central Railway (NCR) is headquartered in Allahabad, now known as Prayagraj [2]. The North Eastern Railway (NER) has its headquarters in Gorakhpur [2]. The West Central Railway (WCR), formed in 2003, is headquartered in Jabalpur [1]. Finally, the South Central Railway (SCR) is headquartered in Secunderabad [2]. Matching these pairs: A (North Central) matches 4 (Allahabad), B (North Eastern) matches 3 (Gorakhpur), C (West Central) matches 2 (Jabalpur), and D (South Central) matches 1 (Secunderabad). This sequence corresponds to the code 4-3-2-1, making Option 1 the correct answer.
