No interchange required

Correct option is C

Correct Answer: C (B – C)

Explanation:

Sentence:
The Himalayan kingdom (A) was through (B) to India connected (C) a district (D) of the Punjab.

We need to arrange the bold words to form a grammatically correct sentence.

Step 1: Check logical structure

Correct meaning should be:
The Himalayan kingdom was connected to India through a district of Punjab.

So:

  • “was connected to” is the correct structure
  • “through a district” gives the correct prepositional phrase

Step 2: Identify correct positions

  • (C) connected → should come after “was”
  • (B) through → should come before “a district”

So we interchange (B) and (C).

Step 3: After swapping B ↔ C

Correct sentence:
The Himalayan kingdom was connected to India through a district of the Punjab.

Conclusion:

Correct interchange is (B) – (C)

Final Answer: C
