Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct option is (A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV).

Let us break down the correct matching of each pack animal in List-I to the area where they are used as a means of transport in List-II:

(A) Mules – (I) Mountains:
Mules are highly sure-footed animals with great endurance, making them exceptionally well-suited for navigating steep, rugged, and narrow mountainous terrains where motorized transport cannot easily go.

(B) Camels – (III) Deserts:
Camels, often referred to as the "ships of the desert," have physiological adaptations (such as water storage and wide padded feet) that allow them to travel long distances across hot, sandy deserts.

(C) Reindeer – (II) Siberia:
Reindeer are native to Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. In the cold, snowy, and icy terrains of Siberia, reindeer are historically and traditionally used to pull sleds and carry loads.

(D) Horses – (IV) Western Countries:
Horses have been widely used across Western countries for riding, pulling carriages, and transporting goods over plains and rolling landscapes throughout history.
