  2. BI, II, III and IV

  4. DI and II

Explanation

The correct option is A because of the following reasons: I. Idukki is incorrectly matched. It is one of the largest hydroelectric projects in India, located on the Periyar River in Kerala, not a thermal power station. II. Sabarigiri is correctly matched. It is the second largest hydroelectric project in Kerala, located on the Pamba River. III. Ghatprabha is correctly matched. It is a major irrigation project located on the Ghatprabha River in Karnataka. IV. Ramganga is correctly matched. Located in Uttarakhand, it is a multipurpose project providing irrigation, hydroelectric power, and drinking water. Since statements II, III, and IV are true and statement I is false, option A is the right answer.
