Consider the following pairs : Region : Country I. Mallorca : Italy II. Normandy : Spain III. Sardinia : France In how many of the above rows is the given information correctly matched?

Option (D) is correct because all three pairs are incorrectly matched: Mallorca is an island belonging to Spain, Normandy is a historical region in northern France, and Sardinia is a large Mediterranean island belonging to Italy. A candidate might be tempted by Option (A) if they confuse Sardinia with the nearby French island of Corsica or mistake Mallorca for an Italian territory due to its Mediterranean location. The core concept being tested is the political geography and territorial sovereignty of major European regions and Mediterranean islands.
