Match List I (Ores) with List II (States where they are mined) and select the correct answer by using the codes given below the lists

List I | List II
I. Manganese | (A) Madhya Pradesh
II. Nickel | (B) Orissa
III. Lead-zinc | (C) Rajasthan
IV. Asbestos | (D) Andhra Pradesh

To solve this, match the minerals to their most famous mining states. Lead and Zinc (III) are almost exclusively found in Rajasthan (C), while the vast majority of India's Nickel (II) is found in the Sukinda Valley of Orissa (B). This narrows the choice to options C and D. Between the remaining two, Manganese (I) is famously mined in the Balaghat belt of Madhya Pradesh (A), and Asbestos (IV) is a major resource of the Cuddapah district in Andhra Pradesh (D). Thus, the correct match is I-A, II-B, III-C, IV-D.
