The given lists represent Indian leaders and their associated locations during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, also known as the Sepoy Mutiny. Here's an explanation of the matches:

(A) Rani Lakshmi Bai - (III) Jhansi: Rani Lakshmi Bai was the Queen of Jhansi. She played a significant role in the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and is remembered for her bravery and leadership during the siege of Jhansi.

(B) Nana Sahib - (IV) Kanpur: Nana Sahib was a prominent figure in the rebellion and was associated with the city of Kanpur. He played a key role in the uprising in Kanpur and was one of the leaders of the rebellion in northern India.

(C) Kunwar Singh - (I) Arrah: Kunwar Singh was a notable leader from Bihar who participated in the rebellion. He led the uprising in the region of Arrah and fought against the British forces.

(D) Birjis Qadr - (II) Awadh: Birjis Qadr was the son of the last Nawab of Awadh (Oudh), Wajid Ali Shah. The events in Awadh (Oudh) were a significant part of the rebellion, and Birjis Qadr was associated with the resistance in that region.

(In Kanpur, the sepoys and the people of the town gave Nana Sahib, the successor to Peshwa Baji Rao II, no choice save to join the revolt as their leader. In Jhansi, the rani, Rani Lakshmi Bai was forced by the popular pressure around her to assume the leadership of the uprising. So was Kunwar Singh, a local zamindar in Arrah in Bihar. In Awadh, where the displacement of the popular Nawab Wajid Ali Shah and the annexation of the state were still very fresh in the memory of the people, the populace in Lucknow celebrated the fall of British rule by hailing Birjis Qadr, the young son of the Nawab, as their leader)
