Question

Match List-I with List-II correctly and choose the correct answer from the codes given below:

• (a) - (iv), (b) - (i), (c) - (ii), (d) - (iii)
• (a) - (iv), (b) - (iii), (c) - (ii), (d) - (i)
• (a) - (ii), (b) - (i), (c) - (iv), (d) - (iii)
• (a) - (i), (b) - (ii), (c) - (iii), (d) - (iv)

Hint:

To simplify matching questions, begin by linking the items you are most confident in (e.g., matching the 9/11 attack with the World Trade Center). This allows you to quickly eliminate incorrect options and find the correct code.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Match Individual Items from List-I to List-II:
• (a) Violation of Human Rights $\to$ (iv) Iraq's invasion of Kuwait: Iraq's aggressive annexation of Kuwait in August 1990 led to massive, well-documented violations of human rights against Kuwaiti citizens, leading to global condemnation and the UN-authorized coalition action.
• (b) 'Mad-Cow' disease $\to$ (i) Britain: Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), commonly known as 'Mad-Cow' disease, was a major non-traditional security threat that erupted as a devastating epidemic in the United Kingdom (Britain) in the late 1980s and 1990s.
• (c) Disarmament Treaty $\to$ (ii) Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC): The CWC, signed in 1993, is a landmark international disarmament treaty that outlawed the production, stockpiling, and use of chemical weapons, requiring their systematic destruction.
• (d) 9/11 terrorist attack $\to$ (iii) World Trade Centre in America: On September 11, 2001, hijackers associated with Al-Qaeda flew commercial airliners into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, USA.

Step 2: Compare with Codes:
This maps directly to: (a) - (iv), (b) - (i), (c) - (ii), (d) - (iii). This corresponds to option (A).
