Match List-I with List-II:

List-I (Station)	List-II (Trans-Continental Railway)
(A) Chita	(I) Australian Trans-Continental Railway
(B) Winnipeg	(II) Union Pacific Railway
(C) Broken Hill	(III) Trans-Siberian Railway
(D) Chicago	(IV) Trans-Canadian Railway

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Let us analyze the connection between each station listed in List-I and the Trans-Continental Railway routes listed in List-II:

(A) Chita – (III) Trans-Siberian Railway
Chita is an important city and railway junction located in Siberia, Russia. It is a major station along the main route of the famous Trans-Siberian Railway, which connects Moscow with Vladivostok. Therefore, (A) matches with (III).

(B) Winnipeg – (IV) Trans-Canadian Railway
Winnipeg is a central transportation hub in Canada, often referred to as the "Gateway to the West." It serves as a major node on the Canadian transcontinental railway network (such as the Canadian Pacific Railway and Canadian National Railway) that links the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Canada. Therefore, (B) matches with (IV).

(C) Broken Hill – (I) Australian Trans-Continental Railway
Broken Hill is a historic mining city in New South Wales, Australia. It is a key station on the transcontinental rail line (the Indian Pacific service) that crosses Australia from Sydney on the east coast to Perth on the west coast. Therefore, (C) matches with (I).

(D) Chicago – (II) Union Pacific Railway
Chicago is one of the most prominent railroad hubs in the United States. The Union Pacific Railroad, which operated the eastern portion of the first transcontinental railroad in the US, connects Chicago directly to the western United States. Therefore, (D) matches with (II).

Combining these matching pairs, we get:
(A) – (III)
(B) – (IV)
(C) – (I)
(D) – (II)

This corresponds exactly to the second option.
