- BA-2 B-1 C-4 D-3

- DA-3 B-4 C-1 D-2
Explanation
The Rigvedic river names match the modern rivers as follows: Drishadvati = Chautang (A-2), Askini = Chenab (B-1), Vitasta = Jhelum (C-4), and Purushni = Ravi (D-3). This gives the code A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3, which corresponds to option B. The other codes misassign these well-established Vedic–modern identifications. Hence option B.
