• B. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
• C. A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Food adulteration involves mixing inferior or harmful substances with food products to increase quantity or profit. Different food items are commonly associated with particular adulterants.
• Semolina may be adulterated with tapioca semolina.
• Honey is often adulterated with coloured cane sugar syrup.
• Black pepper may be mixed with dried papaya seeds.
• Mustard seeds can be adulterated with argemone seeds.

Step 1: Match each food item with its adulterant.
\[ \begin{aligned} \text{Semolina} &\rightarrow \text{Tapioca semolina} \text{Honey} &\rightarrow \text{Coloured cane sugar syrup} \text{Black Pepper} &\rightarrow \text{Dried papaya seed} \text{Mustard} &\rightarrow \text{Argemone seeds} \end{aligned} \]

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