  4. DI-A, II-B, III-C, IV-D

Explanation

The correct option is A because the agricultural products match their foremost producing states as follows: I. Cotton matches with B Gujarat. Gujarat is consistently the leading producer of cotton in India due to its favorable black soil and climatic conditions. II. Gram matches with A Madhya Pradesh. Madhya Pradesh is the largest producer of pulses, including gram, in the country. III. Black pepper matches with D Kerala. Kerala is historically known as the land of spices and remains a major producer of black pepper. IV. Pineapple matches with C West Bengal. While produced in several northeastern states, West Bengal is one of the top producers of pineapple in India. Matching these pairs leads to the sequence I-B, II-A, III-D, and IV-C.
