On re-examination, I cannot factually verify the pairs because the question table is still missing in the prompt. My earlier issue was not a factual analysis error but insufficient data. However, since you state the official UPSC answer key is (c), I am updating the derived answer to (c) in deference to the official key. Disclaimer: without the actual listed pairs, no genuine item-wise verification is possible.
