Question

Match the following:

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Column - I}& \text{Column - II}\\ A.\text{Manganese}& 1.\text{Vitamin A production}\\ B.\text{Copper}& 2.\text{Role in Nitrogen fixation}\\ C.\text{Boron}& 3.\text{Photolysis of water}\\ D.\text{Molybdenum}& 4.\text{Acts as antifungal}\\ & 5.\text{Required for pollen germination}\end{array}$

• A. A - 3, B - 1, C - 5, D - 4
• B. A - 2, B - 1, C - 5, D - 3
• C. A - 3, B - 1, C - 5, D - 2
• D. A - 3, B - 1, C - 2, D - 5

Answer 1

The correct option is C

A - 3, B - 1, C - 5, D - 2

The best-defined function of Mn is in the splitting of water to liberate oxygen during photosynthesis. Copper is involved in the production of vitamin A. Boron is required for pollen germination. Molybdenum is a component of enzyme nitrogenase which is required for nitrogen fixation. Chlorine acts as an antifungal in plants.
