The correct answer is (b)  I-a, II-c, III-d, IV-b
Explanation: •  Myoko Festival (I-a): This is a major spring festival of the  Apatani tribe in the Ziro Valley of  Arunachal Pradesh. It is celebrated in March and focuses on community bonding, prosperity, and fertility. •  Chapchar Kut (II-c): This is the most significant spring festival of the  Mizo people in  Mizoram. It is celebrated in March after the completion of the arduous task of  Jhum clearing (clearing of forest for cultivation). •  Sekrenyi (III-d): Also known as the  Phousanyi, it is the premier festival of the  Angami Naga tribe of  Nagaland. It is a purification festival held in February to ensure the health and well-being of the community. •  Sangai (IV-b): Named after the state animal (the brow-antlered deer), the  Sangai Festival is the largest annual cultural extravaganza organized by the Tourism Department of  Manipur to showcase the state's rich art and heritage.
Information Booster: • The  Sangai deer is endemic to the  Keibul Lamjao National Park in Manipur, which is the world's only floating national park. •  Chapchar Kut is famous for the  Cheraw dance (bamboo dance), which is a key highlight of the festivities in Mizoram.
Additional Knowledge: Myoko Festival (Option I-a) • A unique feature of this festival is the rotation of the host village among three different groups of villages in the Ziro Valley every year.
Sekrenyi (Option III-d) • During this festival, the men of the village take a ritual bath at the village well, and all household fires are extinguished and relit to signify a fresh start.
Hornbill Festival • While Sekrenyi is a tribal festival,  Nagaland is also globally famous for the  Hornbill Festival, which brings all the tribes of the state together every December.
