Detailed Explanation
Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award:
The recipient(s) is/are selected by a committee constituted by the Ministry and is honoured for their “spectacular and most outstanding performance in the field of sports over a period of four years” at international level. Hence pair 1 is correctly matched.

The Arjuna Award, officially known as Arjuna Awards for Outstanding Performance in Sports and Games,is the second-highest sporting honour of India. Dhyan Chand award is the lifetime achievement sporting honour of India. Hence pair 2 is not correctly matched.
Dronacharya Award:
It is given to coaches for doing outstanding and meritorious work on a consistent basis and enabling sportspersons to excel in International events. Hence, pair 3 is correctly matched.
‘Rashtriya Khel Protsahan Puruskar’: It is given to corporate entities (both in private and public sector), Sports Control Boards, NGOs, including sports bodies at the State and National level, who have played a visible role in the area of sports promotion and development. Hence pair 4 is not correctly matched.
