To understand why this match is correct, let us look at the geographical location and state of each seaport step-by-step:

1. (A) Kandla → (IV) Gujarat:
Kandla Port, officially renamed as Deendayal Port, is a major seaport located in the Gulf of Kutch in the state of Gujarat. It is one of the busiest ports on India's west coast, handling a large volume of crude oil imports and dry cargo.

2. (B) Haldia → (III) West Bengal:
Haldia Port is situated near the Hooghly River in the state of West Bengal. It was developed primarily as a major seaport and industrial hub to relieve the shipping congestion at the Kolkata Port.

3. (C) Marmagao → (I) Goa:
Marmagao Port (often spelled Mormugao) is a premier iron ore exporting port located in the coastal state of Goa on India's west coast.

4. (D) Paradwip → (II) Odisha:
Paradwip Port is a major deep-water port located at the confluence of the Mahanadi River and the Bay of Bengal in the state of Odisha, known for handling coal, iron ore, and other dry bulk cargoes.

Combining these individual matches, we get:
(A) matches with (IV)
(B) matches with (III)
(C) matches with (I)
(D) matches with (II)
This perfectly corresponds to the option: (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (II).
