Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
Mineral and energy resources are often associated with particular stratigraphic units and geological provinces.

Step 1: Match Copper and iron.
Singhbhum is well known for copper and iron mineralization. \[ A\rightarrow II \]

Step 2: Match Petroleum.
Barail Group is associated with petroleum-bearing sequences in northeastern India. \[ B\rightarrow IV \]

Step 3: Match Coal.
