Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: A
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1. This matching is based on the headquarters of various national institutes working under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India.

  • A. National Institute for the Visually Handicapped (NIVH): Located in Dehradun (Uttarakhand), it focuses on education and rehabilitation for the blind.
  • B. National Institute for the Orthopaedically Handicapped (NIOH): Headquartered in Kolkata (West Bengal), it specializes in locomotor disabilities.
  • C. National Institute for the Mentally Handicapped (NIMH): Situated in Secunderabad (Telangana), it deals with intellectual disabilities.
  • D. Institute for the Physically Handicapped (IPH): Now known as Pt. Deendayal Upadhyaya National Institute for Persons with Physical Disabilities, it is located in New Delhi.

Option 1 correctly aligns these institutes (A-5, B-1, C-2, D-3). Other options are incorrect as they misplace the geographical locations of these specialized central government bodies.
