Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D

Explanation

To identify the NOT correctly matched pairs:

  • Baglihar Dam: It is a run-of-the-river hydroelectric project on the Chenab River in the Ramban district of Jammu and Kashmir. This pair is correctly matched.
  • Pandoh Dam: It is an embankment dam on the Beas River in the Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh. It was built to divert Beas water into the Sutlej River. Matching it with the Ravi River is incorrect.
  • Srisailam Dam: It is constructed across the Krishna River in the Kurnool and Nagarkurnool districts (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana). While the Tungabhadra is a tributary of the Krishna, the dam itself is on the main Krishna river. Matching it with Tungabhadra is incorrect.

Since pairs 2 and 3 are incorrect, the correct answer is D.
