1. Eastern DFC: Incorrectly matched. The Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor (EDFC) extends from Sonnagar in Bihar to Sahnewal in Punjab, not from Jawaharlal Nehru Port to Dadri. The corridor mentioned is, in fact, the Western DFC.
2. Western DFC: Incorrectly matched. The Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC) spans from Mumbai's Jawaharlal Nehru Port to Dadri in Uttar Pradesh, not from Sonnagar to Sahnewal, as described in the option.
3. Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India Limited (DFCCIL): Correctly matched. DFCCIL was indeed established in 2006 as a Special Purpose Vehicle to oversee the construction, operation, and management of the DFCs.
4. DFC Initiative Proposed: Correctly matched. The initiative for the Dedicated Freight Corridors was first proposed in the Railway Budget for FY 2005-06.
Thus, pairs 3 and 4 are correctly matched, making a total of three correctly matched pairs (since both 3 and 4 are correct, and 2 is correct when matched with the Western DFC description).
