  1. A1 only
  2. B2 only
  3. CBoth 1 and 2
  4. DNeither 1 nor 2Correct

Explanation

The correct answer is D because both statements are incorrectly swapped. Chikmagalur is famous for being the birthplace of coffee in India and is a major coffee producing district, not sugar. Mandya is known as the Sugar City of Karnataka because it has extensive sugarcane cultivation and several sugar factories, rather than being a primary coffee region. Since both statements attribute the wrong commodity to the wrong district, neither statement is correct.
