Question

Match the Column-I with Column-II and select the correct option. 
Column – I                         Column – II 
A. Fibrinogen                     (i) contractions in female reproductive tract 
B. Fructose                         (ii) prevent fungal infection 
C. Prostaglandins              (iii) coagulation of semen 
D. Lactobacilli in vagina    (iv) source of energy 
 

• A. A-(ii), B-(iii), C-(iv), D-(i)
• B. A-(i), B-(ii), C-(iii), D-(iv)
• C. A-(iii), B-(iv), C-(i), D-(ii)
• D. A-(iv), B-(i), C-(ii), D-(iii)

Hint:

Link key terms for quick recall: {Fructose – Energy}, {Prostaglandins – Contractions}, {Fibrinogen – Coagulation}, {Lactobacilli – Infection control}.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the biological significance of each component.
The substances listed in Column-I are associated with reproductive physiology and protective mechanisms. Each has a distinct role either in semen composition or in maintaining reproductive health.

Step 2: Correct matching of Column-I with Column-II.
A. Fibrinogen: Fibrinogen is responsible for the coagulation of semen after ejaculation, which helps retain sperms inside the female reproductive tract. Hence, A is matched with (iii).
B. Fructose: Fructose serves as the primary source of energy for sperms, supporting their motility. Hence, B is matched with (iv).
C. Prostaglandins: Prostaglandins stimulate contractions in the female reproductive tract, aiding sperm transport towards the ovum. Hence, C is matched with (i).
D. Lactobacilli in vagina: Lactobacilli help maintain an acidic environment in the vagina and thereby prevent fungal infection. Hence, D is matched with (ii).

Step 3: Final conclusion.
The correct matching is A-(iii), B-(iv), C-(i), and D-(ii), which corresponds to option (C).
