• (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (II)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

Hint:

Remember crop-variety pairs: Wheat–HD 2496, Paddy–IR 8, Sugarcane–CO 86032, Gram–Virat.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Recall crop-variety associations.
- Wheat → HD-2496 (IV): A high-yielding wheat variety. - Paddy → IR-8 (III): Famous high-yielding rice variety, known as "miracle rice." - Sugarcane → CO-86032 (II): A popular sugarcane variety in India. - Gram → Virat (I): A variety of chickpea.

Step 2: Conclusion.
Thus, the correct matching is: \[ (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (I) \]

Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{Correct answer = Option 1.}} \]
