Answer 1

(b) 2 and 3

Explanation:

• Chandraketugarh: This archaeological site is actually located in West Bengal, not Odisha. It is known for its ancient artifacts, but it is not typically described as a "Trading Port town" in Odisha.

• Inamgaon: This is correctly matched. Inamgaon is an archaeological site located in Maharashtra and is known as a Chalcolithic site.

• Mangadu: This is correctly matched. Mangadu in Kerala is recognized for its megalithic sites.

• Salihundam: This archaeological site is located in Andhra Pradesh, but it is known for Buddhist stupas, not rock-cut cave shrines.

Therefore, the correct answer is (b) 2 and 3.
