Match column I with column II and select the correct option from the codes given below.

Column I	Column II
A. Sponge	(i) Tuber
B. Yeast	(ii) Offset
C. Potato	(iii) Gemmules
D. Water hyacinth	(iv) Budding

• A. $A-\left(iv\right),B-\left(i\right),C-\left(ii\right),D-\left(iii\right)$
• B. $A-\left(iii\right),B-\left(i\right),C-\left(iv\right),D-\left(ii\right)$
• C. $A-\left(iii\right),B-\left(iv\right),C-\left(i\right),D-\left(ii\right)$
• D. $A-\left(iv\right),B-\left(ii\right),C-\left(i\right),D-\left(iii\right)$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $A-\left(iii\right),B-\left(iv\right),C-\left(i\right),D-\left(ii\right)$

A. A sponge produces a tough coated dormant cluster of embryonic cells for development in more favourable conditions called Gemmules.

B. Yeast is a unicellular fungus. It reproduces asexually by the formation of spores. During the process of budding in yeast, the parent cell develops a small protuberance which grows in size.

C. Potato: Each eye of potato tuber is a bud which grows into a new potato plant when planted with a portion of the swollen tuber.

D. Offsets are one internode long runners which develop tuft of leaves at the apex. e.g., Water hyacinth.

So, the correct answer is 'A-(iii), B-(iv), C-(i), D-(ii).
