Explanation
The correct matching of irrigation and power projects with their respective locations is as follows: Malprabha is a major irrigation project located in the Belgaum district of Karnataka [c1, t6]. Kakrapara (Kakrapar) is home to a significant atomic power plant and irrigation works in Gujarat [t4, t9]. Srisailam is a major dam and hydroelectric project situated on the Krishna River, primarily serving Andhra Pradesh [t2, t5]. The Bhima project, often associated with the Ujjani Dam, is located in Maharashtra [t2, t3]. Therefore, the correct sequence is Malprabha (Karnataka - 2), Kakrapara (Gujarat - 3), Srisailam (Andhra Pradesh - 1), and Bhima (Maharashtra - 4). This corresponds to the code 2-3-1-4, which is option (d).
