Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

In this question, we need to match the coastal regions (List-I) with the corresponding states (List-II). Let’s break it down:

Step 1: Understanding the coasts
- Konkan Coast: This is a stretch of coastline on the western coast of India, which primarily runs through the states of Maharashtra and Goa. Therefore, Konkan Coast corresponds to Maharashtra & Goa (Option 4). - Canara Coast: Also called the Karavali Coast, this region is located in Karnataka. So, Canara Coast corresponds to Karnataka (Option 1). - Malabar Coast: The Malabar Coast lies on the southwestern part of India and is primarily in Kerala. Therefore, Malabar Coast corresponds to Kerala (Option 2). - Coromandel Coast: The Coromandel Coast lies on the southeastern coast of India and is mostly in Tamil Nadu. Therefore, Coromandel Coast corresponds to Tamil Nadu (Option 3).

Step 2: Conclusion
Thus, the correct matching of coasts with states is: - Konkan Coast → Maharashtra & Goa (Option 4)
- Canara Coast → Karnataka (Option 1)
- Malabar Coast → Kerala (Option 2)
- Coromandel Coast → Tamil Nadu (Option 3)


Step 3: Final Answer
Hence, the correct answer is (D) a-4, b-1, c-3, d-3.

Final Answer: a-4, b-1, c-3, d-3.
