  3. CContingency Fund of India
  4. DContingency Fund of the State

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the salaries and allowances of High Court judges are charged to the Consolidated Fund of the State where the court is located. This is specified under Article 202 of the Indian Constitution. However, it is important to note a distinct difference regarding pensions: while their salaries are paid by the State, the pensions of High Court judges are charged to the Consolidated Fund of India as per Article 112. Since the question specifically asks for salaries and allowances, the Consolidated Fund of the State is the correct choice.
