The correct option is C A-2, B-1, C-4, D-5
Jojoba wax is obtained from the plant S. chinensis, a shrub belonging to the family Simmondsiaceae. The plant is commonly called jojoba pignut, deer nut, goat nut, wild hazel. The plant is found in the semiarid regions of Mexico and in the United States.
Several tropical American palms are known to produce vegetable ivory, but one of the most important is Phytelephas aequatorialis, also known as the ivory-nut palm.
It's an edible vegetable oil that comes from the fruit of oil palm trees, the scientific name is Elaeis guineensis.
Guayule (Parthenium argentatum Gray), a shrub growing in semi-arid regions in Mexico and the Southern USA, has received the most attention. It appears to be a viable alternative to the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) because it produces high-quality rubber with essentially the same molecular weight as the material obtained from the rubber tree. In fact, it is the only non-tropical plant that has been used as a commercial alternative source of natural rubber.Hence, the correct answer is (C)
