Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
In a matching question, each mineral is linked with the place or project officially associated with its extraction or processing. The reliable method is to verify every pair independently and then combine the four links into one code.
Application
Mineral | Associated centre/project | Basis |
|---|---|---|
Copper | Taloja | Hindustan Copper’s Taloja Copper Project |
Iron ore | Bailadila | NMDC’s Bacheli and Kirandul iron-ore mining complexes |
Manganese | Balaghat | MOIL’s Balaghat manganese mine |
Mica | Nellore | The recognised Nellore mica-mining belt |
Cross-check
Combining the independently verified links gives Copper–Taloja, Iron ore–Bailadila, Manganese–Balaghat, and Mica–Nellore. Therefore, the matching code is A-3, B-1, C-2, D-4.
