The correct answer is D) A-3, B-4, C-1, D-2.
– This question requires matching states in North-East India with abstract map locations. Based on the typical relative positions of these states on a map:
– Tripura (A) is located in the southwestern part of Northeast India, largely surrounded by Bangladesh. Assuming Location 3 corresponds to this position.
– Mizoram (B) is located in the southernmost part of Northeast India, south of Tripura and Manipur, bordering Myanmar and Bangladesh. Assuming Location 4 corresponds to this position.
– Nagaland (C) is located in the northern part of Northeast India, north of Manipur, bordering Myanmar and Assam. Assuming Location 1 corresponds to this position.
– Manipur (D) is located in the central part of Northeast India, south of Nagaland and east of Assam and Mizoram, bordering Myanmar. Assuming Location 2 corresponds to this position.
– The matching A-3, B-4, C-1, D-2 reflects this relative geographic arrangement.
Without the actual map showing the locations, this answer is based on inferring the likely intended positions based on standard geographic representations and the provided options. The states of Northeast India share complex borders with Bangladesh, Myanmar, Bhutan, and China, and understanding their relative positions is important for geography.
