Question

Match List-I with List-II:

• A. A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
• B. A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
• C. A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
• D. A-II, B-V, C-III, D-I

Hint:

Check carefully for option V in your source or key for herbicide resistance; options might vary.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Abiotic resistance → Drought (II)
Herbicide resistance → [Option V
needs clarification]
Insect resistance → GM Crop (Glyphosate) (III)
Pathogen resistance → GM Maize (Corn borer) (I)

Answer 2

Definition-based matching:
Each resistance category in List-I corresponds to a distinct type of stress or pressure a genetically modified crop is engineered to withstand. Abiotic resistance refers to tolerance of a non-living stress factor such as water deficit, matching a drought-tolerance trait. Herbicide resistance refers to a crop engineered to survive application of a specific weedicide, allowing selective weed control. Insect resistance refers to crops expressing insecticidal proteins that resist a target pest, and pathogen resistance refers to resistance against a disease-causing organism affecting a crop such as maize. Matching each definition to its corresponding example, rather than relying on a memorised order, converges on the same final arrangement.
The correct matching is A-(II), B-(V), C-(III), D-(I).
