- A1
- B2
- C3
- D4
Explanation
Correctly matched pairs are: Girnar — the Sudarshana Lake (described in Rudradaman's Junagadh rock inscription); Cholistan — terracotta models of the plough (also found at Banawali); and Mant near Mathura — the headless standing statue of Kanishka. Sannati, however, is in Karnataka, not Odisha, so pair IV is wrongly matched. Three pairs are correct, confirmed against published solutions of this paper.
