• D. A-3, B-2, C-1, D-4

Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept:
This question checks whether you know which continent each of these major deserts belongs to, since deserts are often set as static GK questions by pairing their names with their region.

Explanation:
The Kalahari Desert lies in Southern Africa, spread across Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, so A matches with 3 (Africa). The Atacama Desert lies along the Pacific coast of Chile in South America and is known as one of the driest places on Earth, so B matches with 1 (South America). The Thar Desert, also called the Great Indian Desert, lies in northwestern India and parts of Pakistan, placing it in Asia, so C matches with 4 (Asia). The Great Victoria Desert is Australia's largest desert, spanning Western Australia and South Australia, so D matches with 2 (Australia). Putting these together gives A-3, B-1, C-4, D-2, exactly the combination in option A.

Final Answer:
The correct matching is A-3, B-1, C-4, D-2, so option A is correct.
