(A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

✅ Correct Option: 4

Option 1 -> Delhi with Tantia Tope is incorrect; Tantia Tope was primarily associated with Kanpur, not Delhi.

Option 2 -> Delhi with Tantia Tope and Kanpur with Begum Hazrat Mahal are both incorrect matchings.

Option 3 -> Lucknow with Tantia Tope is incorrect; Tantia Tope led the revolt in Kanpur.

Option 4 -> Delhi-Bahadur Shah II, Jhansi-Rani Lakshmi Bai, Kanpur-Tantia Tope, Lucknow-Begum Hazrat Mahal - all correctly matched.

Hence, Option 4: (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II) -> The correct associations are: Bahadur Shah II was proclaimed Emperor in Delhi and became the symbolic leader; Rani Lakshmi Bai heroically defended Jhansi; Tantia Tope was the military commander who fought alongside Nana Sahib in Kanpur; and Begum Hazrat Mahal led the rebellion in Lucknow (Awadh) after her husband was exiled -> correct
