Consider the following pairs : Medieval Indian State : Present Region 1. Champaka : Central India 2. Durgara : Jammu 3. Kuluta : Malabar Which of the above pairs is/are correctly matched?

Option (B) is correct because Durgara is the ancient name for the Jammu region, whereas Champaka and Kuluta correspond to Chamba and Kullu in present-day Himachal Pradesh. Options (A) and (C) are incorrect as they misplace these Himalayan hill states in geographically distant regions like Central India and the Malabar coast. The core concept tested is the historical geography of early medieval regional kingdoms and their correlation with modern Indian states.
