• D. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV

Hint:

Common food adulterations: \[ \text{Milk} \rightarrow \text{Water addition} \] \[ \text{Vegetable oils} \rightarrow \text{Animal fat} \] \[ \text{Spices} \rightarrow \text{Lead chromate} \] \[ \text{Pulses} \rightarrow \text{Coal tar dye} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: Food adulteration refers to the addition of inferior, harmful, or unauthorized substances to food products. Different food categories are commonly associated with specific adulterants. The question asks to correctly match food items with their common adulteration practices.

Step 1: Match Milk & Milk Products.
Milk is commonly adulterated by: \[ \text{Water addition} \] Thus: \[ A \rightarrow IV \]

Step 2: Match Vegetable oils & fats.
Vegetable oils and fats are often adulterated with: \[ \text{Animal fat} \] Thus: \[ B \rightarrow I \]

Step 3: Match Spices & Condiments.
Spices may be adulterated using: \[ \text{Lead chromate coating} \] especially to enhance yellow color in turmeric and similar spices. Thus: \[ C \rightarrow II \]

Step 4: Match Pulses.
Pulses are sometimes artificially colored using: \[ \text{Coal tar dye} \] to improve appearance. Thus: \[ D \rightarrow III \]

Step 5: Write the final matching.
The correct matching is: \[ A \rightarrow IV \] \[ B \rightarrow I \] \[ C \rightarrow II \] \[ D \rightarrow III \] Therefore: \[ \boxed{\text{A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III}} \]

Step 6: Identify the correct option.
The option matching the correct sequence is: \[ \boxed{\text{A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III}} \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{(B)} \]
