General KnowledgeGeography
- A1 only
- B1 and 2
- C2 and 3
- D3 and 4
Explanation
The Siachen glacier lies in the Nubra valley region of the Karakoram — pair 1 is correct. The Chungphar glacier is in Ladakh's Karakoram, not the Kumaon-Garhwal region; the Zemu glacier is in Sikkim, not central Nepal; and Gasherbrum is in the Karakoram, not the Pir Panjal range. Only pair 1 is correctly matched. Hence option A is correct.
