Model Answer
The correct option is (D) i-c, ii-d, iii-a, iv-b
Sardar Sarovar – Narmada; Hirakud – Mahanadi; Bhakra Nangal – Sutlej; Nagarjuna Sagar – Krishna.
Explanation
The textbook explicitly states: Sardar Sarovar Dam is built on the Narmada River; Hirakud project is in the Mahanadi basin; Bhakra–Nangal project is in the Sutlej-Beas river basin. Nagarjuna Sagar is a well-known dam on the Krishna River (standard NCERT fact). Students must memorise dam–river pairings as they are frequently asked in MCQs and match-the-column questions.
