Correct option is A

The correct matching is:
· A. Flood → II. Uttar Pradesh and plains of Bihar These regions are highly prone to flooding due to the overflowing of rivers like the Ganga and its tributaries during the monsoon season.
· B. Drought → III. Jharkhand and North Orissa These areas occasionally experience drought due to irregular rainfall patterns, particularly in years of monsoon deficit.
· C. Cyclone → IV. Middle Eastern India While cyclones typically affect coastal regions, their effects sometimes extend to inland areas like Middle Eastern India.
· D. Earthquake → I. Foothill region of Himalaya The Himalayan foothills are located in a tectonically active region, making them prone to frequent seismic activity.
