Hint:

Byadagi chilli is synonymous with Karnataka's spice industry.
Dalle Khursani is the famous round cherry pepper of Sikkim.
Identifying these two alone can quickly lead you to the correct option.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Geographical Indication (GI) tags are intellectual property designations granted to agricultural products that possess a specific geographical origin and unique qualities or reputation due to that place of origin.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Let us match the chilli landraces with their registered GI tag regions:
- (A) Bhiwapur Chilli: This landrace is highly famous for its deep red color and hot pungency, grown around the Bhiwapur taluka of the Nagpur district in Maharashtra.
Thus, (A) matches with (IV).
- (B) Khola Chilli: Grown on the hilly slopes of Khola village in Canacona, Goa, this chilli is known for its brilliant red color and medium pungency.
Thus, (B) matches with (III).
- (C) Dalle Khursani: This is one of the hottest chillies in the world (belonging to Capsicum chinense), traditionally grown in Sikkim and the Darjeeling hills.
Thus, (C) matches with (I).
- (D) Byadagi Chilli: This is a famous cultivar grown in Karnataka, highly valued for its intense deep red color and very low pungency, making it ideal for food processing and oleoresin extraction.
Thus, (D) matches with (II).
Combining these correct matches gives the sequence: (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (II).

Step 3: Final Answer:
The correct match is (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (II).
