  2. BOnly two
  3. CAll three
  4. DNone

Explanation

Let's check each pair: 1. **Dhuandhar:** Located in Bhedaghat, near Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. It is formed by the Narmada River — the river is correct. However, Jabalpur lies in the Mahakoshal (Narmada valley) region, not the Malwa Plateau. The Malwa Plateau is centred around Indore, Bhopal, and Ujjain. So the region given (Malwa) is incorrect. 2. **Hundru:** Located on the Subarnarekha River in Ranchi, Jharkhand. Ranchi is indeed in the Chota Nagpur Plateau region. This pair is correctly matched. 3. **Gersoppa (Jog Falls):** Located on the Sharavathi River in the Western Ghats of Karnataka. The Netravati River is a different river associated with Mangaluru. So the river given (Netravati) is incorrect for Gersoppa/Jog Falls. Therefore, only one pair (Hundru) is correctly matched.
