Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The mineral distribution in India corresponds to specific geographical locations on the map. Mica (A) is heavily concentrated in Rajasthan, particularly in districts like Ajmer and Bhilwara [1]. Chromite (B) is predominantly found in the Sukinda mining belt of Odisha. Magnesite (C) deposits are significant in Tamil Nadu, especially in the Salem district [1]. Zinc (D) is primarily mined in the Zawar and Rampura Agucha regions of Rajasthan [2]. Based on the standard UPSC map representation for these minerals: Location 4 represents the Rajasthan mica/zinc belt, Location 3 represents the Odisha chromite belt, Location 2 represents the Tamil Nadu magnesite deposits, and Location 1 represents the specific zinc/lead mining areas in the northwest. Therefore, the correct matching sequence for A-B-C-D is 4-3-2-1.
