Which one of the following pairs of states and tribes is not correctly matched?
- AAssam: Miri
- BNagaland: Konyak
- CArunachal Pradesh: Apatani
- DMadhya Pradesh: LambadaCorrect
Explanation
The correct answer is D because the Lambada tribe is not primarily associated with Madhya Pradesh. The Lambadas, also known as Banjara, are predominantly found in the states of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, and parts of Karnataka and Maharashtra.
In contrast, the other pairs are correctly matched: the Miri tribe is found in Assam, the Konyak tribe is a major Naga group in Nagaland, and the Apatani tribe is indigenous to the Ziro valley in Arunachal Pradesh. Therefore, option D is the mismatched pair.
