Match List I (Centre of Handicrafts) with List II (State) and select the correct answer using the codes given below the Lists
(Centre of Handicrafts) | (State)
I. Mon | (A) Arunachal Pradesh
II. Nalbari | (B) Assam
III. Pasighat | (C) Meghalaya
IV. Tura | (D) Nagaland
Explanation
Mon is a well-known handicraft and tribal craft centre in Nagaland; Nalbari is a noted handicraft and weaving centre in Assam; Pasighat is an important folk/handicraft centre in Arunachal Pradesh; and Tura is a principal handicraft town in Meghalaya. Therefore the correct matching of the four centres with their respective states is: I–D (Mon–Nagaland), II–B (Nalbari–Assam), III–A (Pasighat–Arunachal Pradesh), IV–C (Tura–Meghalaya). This corresponds to option 1. The pairings reflect established state-wise associations of these Northeastern craft centres with their states based on regional craft geography and commonly reported administrative associations of these towns with specific state craft traditions.
