Hint:

Common food adulterants: \[ \text{Honey} \rightarrow \text{Sugar syrup} \] \[ \text{Black pepper} \rightarrow \text{Papaya seeds} \] \[ \text{Mustard} \rightarrow \text{Argemone seeds} \] \[ \text{Semolina} \rightarrow \text{Tapioca semolina} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Food adulteration is the practice of lowering food quality by adding inferior or harmful substances. Different food products are commonly associated with particular adulterants. The question asks to correctly match food items with their common adulterants.

Step 1: Match Semolina.
Semolina is often adulterated with: \[ \text{Tapioca semolina} \] Thus: \[ A \rightarrow III \]

Step 2: Match Honey.
Honey may be adulterated with: \[ \text{Coloured cane sugar syrup} \] Thus: \[ B \rightarrow I \]

Step 3: Match Black Pepper.
Black pepper is commonly adulterated using: \[ \text{Dried papaya seeds} \] because they resemble pepper seeds in appearance. Thus: \[ C \rightarrow II \]

Step 4: Match Mustard.
Mustard seeds are frequently adulterated with: \[ \text{Argemone seeds} \] which are toxic and harmful. Thus: \[ D \rightarrow IV \]

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

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