The Correct Option is D
Approach Solution - 1
We need to match the banana breeding institutes with their primary locations and then find the option that lists these locations in the order of IITA, EMBRAPA, CARBAP, TBRI.
(A) IITA (International Institute of Tropical Agriculture): Headquartered in Ibadan, Nigeria, with significant operations and research stations in several African countries, including Uganda. So, "Nigeria and Uganda" is appropriate.
(B) EMBRAPA (Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation): This is Brazil's national agricultural research organization. So, "Brazil".
(C) CARBAP (Centre Africain de Recherches sur Bananiers et Plantains / African Research Centre on Bananas and Plantains): Located in Njombé, Cameroon. So, "Cameroon".
(D) TBRI (Taiwan Banana Research Institute): Located in Pingtung, Taiwan. So, "Taiwan". So the sequence of places corresponding to (A) IITA, (B) EMBRAPA, (C) CARBAP, (D) TBRI is: Nigeria and Uganda - Brazil - Cameroon - Taiwan. This matches option (4). Nigeria and Uganda - Brazil - Cameroon - Taiwan

Acronym-expansion approach:
Expanding each acronym pins down its host country directly: IITA is the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, headquartered in Nigeria with major regional work also based in Uganda; EMBRAPA is the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation, based in Brazil; CARBAP is the Centre Africain de Recherches sur Bananiers et Plantains, based in Cameroon; and TBRI is the Taiwan Banana Research Institute, based in Taiwan. Reading the acronyms in the order given, A-B-C-D, and substituting each expansion's country gives Nigeria and Uganda, then Brazil, then Cameroon, then Taiwan.
