Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept:
Different Indian sculptural traditions used specific materials according to:
• Regional availability
• Religious requirements
• Technical suitability

Step 1:
The Dilwara Jain temples at Mount Abu are famous for: \[ Marble sculpture \] Thus: \[ A \rightarrow III \]

Step 2:
Nalanda Buddhist sculptures are often carved in: \[ Blackstone \] Thus: \[ B \rightarrow IV \]

Step 3:
The Rampurva Bull pillar capital belongs to the Mauryan period and is made of: \[ Sandstone \] Thus: \[ C \rightarrow I \]

Step 4:
This Buddhist image is associated with: \[ Metal with guilding \] Thus: \[ D \rightarrow II \] Therefore, the correct matching is: \[ A-III,\; B-IV,\; C-I,\; D-II \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\text{(1) A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II}} \]
