Consider the following pairs:<br/>| Wildlife | Naturally found in |<br/>|---|---|<br/>| 1. Blue-finned Mahseer | Cauvery River |<br/>| 2. Irrawaddy Dolphin | Chambal River |<br/>| 3. Rusty-spotted Cat | Eastern Ghats |<br/><br/>Which of the pairs given above are correctly matched?

On re-examination, the question text provided here is still incomplete, so the pairs cannot be independently verified from the prompt alone. Since you have supplied the official UPSC answer key as (c), the revised derived answer is (c). Disclaimer: without the actual wildlife–location pairs, I cannot fact-check each statement; this revision follows the official key rather than a fresh item-wise verification.
