Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) 3 and 4
Cardamom Hills are part of the southern Western Ghats, not the Coromandel Coast; Kaimur Hills lie across MP-UP-Bihar, not the Konkan Coast ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardamom_Hills?utm_source=openai)). Mahadeo Hills belong to the Satpura range in central India, and Mikir (Karbi) Hills are located in Assam, North-East India ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahadeo_Hills?utm_source=openai)). Thus only pairs 3 and 4 are correctly matched, giving option (c).
