Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (B) P–5;Q–1;R–4;S–3

Explanation

The source associations are mother’s womb for the school(5), cosmic geometry for Jawahar Kala Kendra(1), bull’s horns for the Capitol imagery(4), and temple-plan abstraction for the Oberoi hotel(3). These give 5, 1, 4, 3, B. They identify specific design abstractions rather than literal building functions.
