Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 3 and 4
BMW AG (Munich, Germany), Daimler AG (Stuttgart, Germany) and Volkswagen AG (Wolfsburg, Germany) are all headquartered in Germany, whereas Renault S.A. is based in Boulogne-Billancourt, France. Hence only pairs 3 (Renault–France) and 4 (Volkswagen–Germany) are correctly matched. Pairs 1 and 2 are wrong because BMW and Daimler are not headquartered in the USA or Sweden respectively.
