Correct answer: (c) Khas – Arunachal Pradesh
Explanation
- A
Angamis – Nagaland
(a) Angamis – Nagaland. Angami Nagas are correctly placed in Nagaland (Kohima region).
- B
Birhors – Jharkhand
(b) Birhors – Jharkhand. Birhor are a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group of the Chotanagpur plateau, correctly matched with Jharkhand.
- C
Khas – Arunachal Pradesh
(c) Khas – Arunachal Pradesh. Khas (Khasa) communities are associated with the central Himalaya—Uttarakhand and Nepal—not Arunachal Pradesh. This mismatch is the official key.
- D
Todas – Tamil Nadu
(d) Todas – Tamil Nadu. Todas are a Nilgiri pastoral tribe of Tamil Nadu, correctly matched.
Summary. Official key is (c). Angami–Nagaland, Birhor–Jharkhand and Toda–Tamil Nadu are right. Khas are not an Arunachal tribe; they belong to the central Himalaya, so that pair is not correctly matched.
