Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: Food adulteration refers to the addition of inferior, harmful, or unwanted substances to food items. Different food products are commonly associated with specific adulterants.
• Milk and milk products are often adulterated by adding water.
• Vegetable oils and fats may be mixed with animal fat.
• Spices and condiments can be adulterated using lead chromate for artificial color.
• Pulses are sometimes colored yellow with chemicals such as Caltardic compounds.

Step 1: Match each food item with its adulteration type.
\[ \begin{aligned} \text{Milk \& Milk Products} &\rightarrow \text{Water addition of refined oil} \text{Vegetables oils \& fats} &\rightarrow \text{Animal fat} \text{Spices \& Condiments} &\rightarrow \text{Coating of lead chromate} \text{Pulses} &\rightarrow \text{Coloured yellow with Caltardic} \end{aligned} \]

Step 2: Write the correct matching sequence.
Thus, the correct matching is: \[ A-IV,\ B-I,\ C-II,\ D-III \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{(B)\ A\text{-}IV,\ B\text{-}I,\ C\text{-}II,\ D\text{-}III} \]
