Deendayal Port (Kandla) in Gujarat is a tidal port located on the Gulf of Kutch — pair 1 is correct. Jawaharlal Nehru Port (Nhava Sheva) is a landlocked, sheltered port — pair 2 is correct. V.O. Chidambaranar Port (Tuticorin) is an artificial deep-sea harbour — pair 3 is correct. Paradip Port, however, is a natural DEEP-water port (not shallow), built on the Bay of Bengal in Odisha — pair 4 is incorrect. Hence pairs 1, 2 and 3 are correctly matched.
