Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) 2 and 3
Burzahom (Kashmir) is renowned for Neolithic subterranean pit-dwellings, not rock-cut shrines, so Pair 1 is incorrect. Chandraketugarh (West Bengal) yields exquisite terracotta plaques, making Pair 2 correct. Ganeshwar (Rajasthan), part of the Ganeshwar-Jodhpura culture near the Khetri copper belt, is famous for large quantities of copper artefacts, so Pair 3 is correct. Thus only 2 and 3 match.
