The correct answer is D based on the following mapping of characteristics to planets I. Farthest planet from the sun matches with D Pluto. Note that in many older geography questions used by UPSC, Pluto is still listed as the farthest planet, although it is now classified as a dwarf planet. Among the choices provided, it occupies this position. II. Largest planet of the solar system matches with C Jupiter. Jupiter is the massive gas giant and the largest body in our solar system after the Sun. III. Planet second from the Sun in the solar system matches with B Venus. Following the order from the Sun, Mercury is first and Venus is second. IV. Planet nearest to the Sun matches with A Mercury. Mercury has the smallest orbit and is closest to the Sun. Matching these pairs leads to the sequence I-D, II-C, III-B, IV-A, which corresponds to Option D.
