Note: In the original NTA paper, Option 4 read "(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)". NTA accepted this option as a correct answer as well. To leave only one correct answer and avoid confusion for students, it has been changed here to "(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)".
Advice for the exam: In the real exam, mark the answer that is grammatically or factually correct. If NTA’s provisional answer key marks a different option, challenge it during the answer-key challenge window and give the reason in one or two lines.
