keywords: 

{'ores': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'states': [1, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is Option 3: I - A, II - B, III - C, IV - D.

Let`s analyze each option and match the ores with the states where they are mined:

Option 1: I - A, II - C, III - B, IV - D

This option states that Manganese is mined in Madhya Pradesh, Nickel in Orissa, Lead-zinc in Rajasthan, and Asbestos in Andhra Pradesh. However, this is incorrect because Nickel is primarily mined in Canada, Russia, Australia, and Indonesia, not in Orissa.

Option 2: I - D, II - C, III - B, IV - A

According to this option, Manganese is mined in Andhra Pradesh, Nickel in Orissa, Lead-zinc in Rajasthan, and Asbestos in Madhya Pradesh. However, this is also incorrect because Manganese is not primarily mined in Andhra Pradesh but rather in states like Odisha, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh.

Option 3: I - A, II - B, III - C, IV - D

This option correctly states that Manganese is mined in Madhya Pradesh, Nickel in Odisha, Lead-zinc in Rajasthan, and Asbestos in Andhra Pradesh. This aligns with the known mining locations in India. Madhya Pradesh is a significant producer of Manganese ore, Odisha is a major Nickel mining state, Rajasthan has significant deposits of Lead-zinc, and Andhra Pradesh is known for its Asbestos mines.

Option 4: I - D, II - B, III - C, IV - A

According to this option, Manganese is mined in Andhra Pradesh, Nickel in Odisha, Lead-zinc in Rajasthan, and Asbestos in Madhya Pradesh. This matches the correct mining locations for these ores, making it the correct answer.

In summary, Option 3 is the correct answer: I - A, II - B, III - C, IV - D, with Manganese mined in Madhya Pradesh, Nickel in Odisha, Lead-zinc in Rajasthan, and Asbestos in Andhra Pradesh.
