Explanation
In classical Indian land classification, Urvara denotes fertile land (A-2) and Maru denotes desert land (B-4). Nadimatrika — 'watered by a river (nadi)' — denotes river-watered land (C-1). Devamatrika — 'watered by the gods (deva)', i.e., dependent on rain — denotes rain-watered land (D-3). The correct match is therefore A-2, B-4, C-1, D-3.
