The Correct Option is C

The correct order of iron-ore mines from south-west to north-east is:
- Kudremukh (iv) – located in the south-western part of India, in Karnataka. 
- Ballari (iii) – located to the north-east of Kudremukh, also in Karnataka. 
- Bailadila (i) – located further north in Chhattisgarh.
