Answer 2

Here is the correct matching of energy types with their key locations or regions:

• (A) Nuclear energy – (III) Tarapur: Tarapur (in Maharashtra) is a key location for nuclear energy production in India. The Tarapur Atomic Power Station is one of the earliest nuclear power plants in India.
• (B) Wind energy – (II) West Coast of India: The west coast of India, particularly in states like Gujarat and Maharashtra, is rich in wind energy resources. These areas have been harnessing wind energy through numerous wind farms.
• (C) Tidal energy – (I) Gujarat and Rajasthan: Gujarat and Rajasthan have potential tidal energy resources, particularly in the coastal areas of Gujarat. There have been several initiatives to tap tidal energy in these regions.
• (D) Geothermal energy – (IV) Manikaran: Manikaran (in Himachal Pradesh) is known for its geothermal potential, where hot springs are used to generate geothermal energy.

Thus, the correct answer is (B): (A) – (III), (B) – (II), (C) – (I), (D) – (IV).
