List I (Tribes of India)	List II (State/Union Territory)
A Kinner	i Jammu and Kashmir
B Bakarwal	ii Mizoram
C Lushai	iii Karnataka
D Chenchu	iv Himachal Pradesh

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) A-iv, B-i, C-ii, D-iii
Explanation:
· A. Kinner — iv Himachal Pradesh: The Kinner (or Kinnaura) tribe inhabits the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. They are known for their distinct culture and the practice of polyandry in the past.
· B. Bakarwal — i Jammu and Kashmir: The Bakarwals are a nomadic pastoralist community found in the Pir Panjal ranges of Jammu and Kashmir. They practice transhumance, migrating with their livestock (goats and sheep) between high-altitude pastures in summer and lower plains in winter.
· C. Lushai — ii Mizoram: The Lushai people are the major tribe of Mizoram. In fact, the "Lushai Hills" was the former name of the Mizo Hills. They belong to the Kuki-Chin group of tribes.
· D. Chenchu —iii Karnataka: The Chenchus are a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG) primarily found in the Nallamala forests of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. However, their population also extends into the bordering districts of Karnataka. In this matching exercise, Karnataka is the correct fit by elimination and geographic proximity.
Additional Information (Other Options):
· The other options contain incorrect pairings, such as placing the Bakarwals (a Himalayan tribe) in Karnataka or the Kinners in Jammu & Kashmir.
Information Booster:
· PVTGs: The Chenchus are one of the 75 Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) in India, characterized by a pre-agricultural level of technology and a stagnant or declining population.
· Transhumance: The migration pattern of the Bakarwals is crucial for the ecology of the Himalayas, as their grazing prevents the overgrowth of pastures.
