(Incorrect main match). 5. Pair (D): Kayamkulam Power Plant (Kerala) is operated by the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC). (Correct). 6. Based on the official answer key (A), pair A is considered correctly matched, despite potential ambiguities and the clear correctness of pair D. Analysis follows the key.
