| List-I | List-II |
|---|---|
| A. Pteridophyte | I. Salvia |
| B. Bryophyte | II. Ginkgo |
| C. Angiosperm | III. Polytrichum |
| D. Gymnosperm | IV. Salvinia |
Choose the option with all correct matches.
(1) A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
(2) A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
(3) A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
(4) A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
Answer: Option (2)
Explanation:
Pteridophytes are vascular cryptogams and Salvinia (IV) is a well-known aquatic pteridophyte, so A-IV is correct.
Bryophytes are non-vascular plants, and Polytrichum (III) is a moss belonging to bryophytes, so B-III is correct.
Angiosperms are flowering plants. Salvia (I) is a dicot angiosperm, so C-I is correct.
Gymnosperms are naked-seed plants. Ginkgo (II) is a living gymnosperm fossil, so D-II is correct.
Thus, the correct matching is A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II.
