Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: B
Explanation

To arrange the institutes from North to South, we identify their locations and latitudes. The Indian Military Academy (IMA) is in Dehradun (~30.3°N) [t2][t3]. The National Defence College (NDC) is in New Delhi (~28.6°N) [t3][t5]. Moving south, the National Defence Academy (NDA) is located in Khadakwasla, Pune (~18.4°N) [t2][t8]. Further south is the College of Defence Management (CDM) in Secunderabad (~17.4°N) [t3]. Finally, the Officers Training Academy (OTA) is located in Chennai (~13.0°N) [t3]. Therefore, the correct North-to-South sequence is IMA (I), NDC (IV), NDA (III), CDM (V), and OTA (II). This corresponds to the sequence I, IV, III, V, II. Note: Option 2 contains a typo ('IIV' instead of 'I, IV'), but it is the only sequence following the correct geographical order.
