  4. D1, 2 and 3

Explanation

The correct answer is B because only pairs 2 and 3 are correctly matched. 1. Kapildhara Falls is located on the Narmada River in Madhya Pradesh, not the Godavari River. Therefore, pair 1 is incorrect. 2. Jog Falls is created by the Sharavati River in Karnataka. It is one of the highest plunge waterfalls in India. Therefore, pair 2 is correct. 3. Sivasamudram Falls is located on the Cauvery River in Karnataka. It is well known for being the site of one of the first hydroelectric power stations in Asia. Therefore, pair 3 is correct. Since only statements 2 and 3 are right, the correct option is B.
