Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) 2 and 3
Kurds are an ethnic group spread across Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria—not Bangladesh—so pair 1 is incorrect. Madhesi people inhabit Nepal’s Terai region, and the Rohingya are a persecuted Muslim minority of Myanmar’s Rakhine State; hence pairs 2 and 3 are correctly matched. Thus the correct answer is option (c). ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurds?utm_source=openai))
