• Kamarajar (Ennore) Port is the first major port corporatised and registered as a company in India, making Pair 1 correct. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamarajar_Port)) • Mundra Port, owned by Adani, is India’s largest privately owned port (and currently the largest container-handling port), so Pair 2 is correct. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mundra_Port)) • Visakhapatnam Port handles significant cargo but is not India’s largest container port (that distinction is held by Mundra/JNPT), so Pair 3 is incorrect. Therefore exactly two pairs are correctly matched.
