1. Caraka-Samhita - Classification of animals based on habitat: Correct. The Caraka-Samhita indeed contains classifications of animals based on habit and habitat.
2. Abiotic component - Plants: Incorrect. Plants are part of the biotic components of the environment, not the abiotic components. Abiotic components include non-living factors such as energy, radiation, temperature, and water.
3. Major Community - Relatively independent, large-sized: Correct. Major communities are large-sized, well-organized, and relatively independent, relying primarily on the sun's energy.
4. Minor Community - Dependent on neighboring communities: Correct. Minor communities depend on neighboring communities and are not completely independent units in terms of energy and nutrient dynamics.
Thus, pairs 1, 3, and 4 are correctly matched, while pair 2 is incorrectly matched.
Hence, the correct answer is Option B.
