Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The correct matching of minerals to their respective mines is as follows: Zinc is primarily associated with the Zawar mines in Rajasthan, which is a major center for lead-zinc production. Gold is famously mined at the Hutti Gold Field in the Raichur district of Karnataka, one of the oldest and most significant gold-producing regions in India [1]. Chromite is predominantly found in the Sukinda valley of Odisha, which holds the bulk of India's chromite resources. Pyrite deposits are notably located in the Amjhore region of the Rohtas (formerly Shahabad) district in Bihar, which is recognized as the largest pyrite deposit in the country [1]. Therefore, the correct sequence is A-3, B-4, C-2, and D-1, corresponding to option 3.
