Explanation

Let's examine each pair: 1. Champaka : Central India: This pair is incorrectly matched. Champaka, or Chamba, was a medieval Indian state located in the Western Himalayas, primarily corresponding to parts of present-day Himachal Pradesh, not Central India. 2. Durgara : Jammu: This pair is correctly matched. Durgara was an ancient and medieval kingdom that corresponds to the region of Jammu, in what is now Jammu and Kashmir. The Dogras, an ethnic group, trace their origins to this region. 3. Kuluta : Malabar: This pair is incorrectly matched. Kuluta was an ancient kingdom located in the Kullu Valley of Himachal Pradesh, in the Western Himalayas. Malabar, on the other hand, refers to the southwestern coast of India, primarily in present-day Kerala. Therefore, only pair 2 is correctly matched.
