1 and 2
B

Correct answer
D
3 only
Explanation
Option (c) is correct because Madhesis are an ethnic group inhabiting the Terai region of Nepal, and Rohingyas are a minority group from Myanmar’s Rakhine State. Pair 1 is incorrect because Kurds are an ethnic group primarily residing in the Middle East (Turkey, Iraq, Syria, and Iran), not Bangladesh, which makes option (a) the most common incorrect choice. The core concept tested is the geographical location of major ethnic communities involved in contemporary geopolitical and humanitarian crises.
