Question

Match List - I with List - II.

List - I (Crop)	List - II (Scientific Name)
A. Rice B. White Clover C. Rye grass D. Pigeonpea	I. Trifolium repens II. Cajanus Cajan III. Oryza Sativa IV. Lolium Perenne

• A. А-ІІІ, В-I, C-IV, D-II
• B. A-I, B-IV, C-II, D-III
• C. А-ІІІ, В-II, C-IV, D-I
• D. А-І, В-II, C-III, D-IV

Hint:

Scientific names are always italicized in print. 'Sativa' often means 'cultivated,' which is why it appears in many crop names like *Oryza sativa* and *Avena sativa* (Oat).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Binomial nomenclature provides a unique two-part name for every species, consisting of the Genus and the specific epithet. Correct identification is essential for agronomic management and trade.

Step 1: Match common cereal and pulse crops.
Rice (A) is scientifically known as *Oryza sativa* (III). Pigeonpea (D), a major pulse crop in India, is *Cajanus cajan* (II).

Step 2: Match forage and grass crops.
White Clover (B) is a legume used in pastures, named *Trifolium repens* (I). Rye grass (C) is a common turf and forage grass named *Lolium perenne* (IV).

Step 3: Final matching construction.
The sequence is A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II, which leads directly to Option (1).
