Explanation
- A
A-(4), B-(3), C-(2), D-(1)

- B
A-(3), B-(1), C-(4), D-(2)

- C
A-(3), B-(4), C-(1), D-(2)
Option (c) incorrectly matches Toubkal with Uganda instead of Morocco. Such misalignments disrupt the geographical accuracy required for African mountain peaks. Thus, this option stands rejected.
- D
A-(4), B-(2), C-(3), D-(1)
Option (d) incorrectly assigns Kilimanjaro to Uganda and Toubkal to Algeria. These swapped geographical locations make the sequence entirely wrong. Consequently, this choice is incorrect.
Summary. Official key is (b) matching Kilimanjaro to Tanzania, Toubkal to Morocco, Stanley to Uganda, and Hoggar to Algeria. Aspirants often confuse the locations of Mount Stanley and Kilimanjaro within East Africa. Knowing that Kilimanjaro lies in Tanzania and Stanley in Uganda immediately eliminates incorrect choices. Careful verification of North African ranges like Toubkal and Hoggar ensures absolute accuracy. Therefore, option (b) is the only correct matching.
