Most handloom sarees take their name from the town or region where they are made.

(B) Chanderi — this matches (III) Madhya Pradesh. Chanderi sarees are light, sheer silk-and-cotton weaves with zari borders from the town of Chanderi in Ashoknagar district.
(C) Baluchari — this matches (I) West Bengal. Baluchari silk sarees, woven at Bishnupur in Bankura district, show scenes from the epics on the pallu.
