Option 1 says that Kamarajar Port is well known as the first major port in India registered as a company. This is incorrect as the first major port registered as a company in India is Ennore Port, not Kamarajar.

Option 2 states that Mundra Port is the largest privately owned port in India. This option is correct. Mundra port is indeed the largest privately operated port and it is owned by Adani group.

Option 3 claims that Visakhapatnam is the largest container port in India. This is incorrect as the largest container port in India is Jawaharlal Nehru Port, located in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra.

Therefore, only one pair (Mundra Port : Largest privately owned port in India) is correctly matched, therefore answer should be option 1.

Alert - correct answer should be option 1.
