Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists

(Steel Plant) | (State)
A. Bhilai Steel Plant | 1. Karnataka
B. Bokaro Steel Plant | 2. Tamil Nadu
C. Visvesvaraya Steel | 3. Andhra Pradesh
D. Salem Steel Plant | 4. Chhattisgarh
| 5. Jharkhand

The correct answer is Option 2 (A-4, B-5, C-1, D-2). This matching accurately aligns major Indian steel plants with their respective states based on industrial geography:

• A. Bhilai Steel Plant (4): Located in Chhattisgarh (formerly part of Madhya Pradesh), it was established in 1955 with Soviet collaboration.
• B. Bokaro Steel Plant (5): Situated in Jharkhand, this plant was the fourth integrated public sector steel plant, built with Soviet assistance.
• C. Visvesvaraya Iron and Steel Plant (1): Located in Bhadravati, Karnataka, it is one of India's oldest units, named after the legendary engineer M. Visvesvaraya.
• D. Salem Steel Plant (2): A unit of SAIL located in Tamil Nadu, it is renowned for producing high-quality stainless steel.

Option 2 is correct because it correctly identifies Visvesvaraya with Karnataka and Salem with Tamil Nadu, whereas other options incorrectly pair these southern plants with Andhra Pradesh or each other.
