Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) 1 and 3 only
Catalonia is an autonomous community of Spain, and Mindanao is the southern island group of the Philippines, so pairs 1 and 3 are correct. Crimea is a peninsula claimed by Ukraine/Russia, not Hungary, and Oromia is a regional state in Ethiopia, not Nigeria; therefore those pairs are incorrect. Thus only 1 and 3 are correctly matched, giving option (c). ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalonia?utm_source=openai))
