Answer: is (d) None.

Explanation:

None of the given pairs correctly matches the regions with the reasons for being in the news. Let's examine each pair:

North Kivu and Ituri: These regions are located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and have been in the news primarily due to conflicts and violence related to armed groups operating in the region. It has no connection to the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Nagorno-Karabakh: Nagorno-Karabakh is a region located between Armenia and Azerbaijan. It has been a subject of conflict between these two countries, not connected to the insurgency in Mozambique.

Kherson and Zaporizhzhia: These regions are in Ukraine and have been in the news due to tensions and disputes between Ukraine and Russia, particularly related to the annexation of Crimea. There is no connection to the political dispute between Israel and Lebanon.

Authentic Reference Source:

To verify the information, you can refer to authentic sources such as government websites, international organization websites, and NCERT books. Although specific references to these regions might not be available in NCERT books, a general understanding of global geography from these books would be helpful in answering such questions.

For current affairs and news-related information, you can refer to reputable news sources like BBC, Al Jazeera, Reuters, or official government websites such as the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of the Government of India or the United Nations (UN) website.
