Question

Match the concepts given in Column I with their scientist who proposed them given in Column II.

Column (I)	Column (II)
i.	Osmotic absorption	a.	Bohem
ii.	Non-osmotic absorption	b.	Dixon and Jolly
iii.	Capillarity theory	c.	Atkins and Priestley
iv.	Cohesion- tension theory	d.	Kramer and Thiman

Choose the correct option:

• A. i - c, ii - d, iii - a, iv - b
• B. i - c, ii - a, iii - b, iv - d
• C. i-a, ii-b, iii-d, iv-c
• D. i - d, ii - c, iii - a, iv - b

Hint:

Match each mechanism of water absorption with the scientists who proposed it.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
Different theories explain water absorption by roots.

Step 2: Match
Osmotic absorption: Atkins and Priestley (c).
Non-osmotic absorption: Kramer and Thiman (d).
Capillarity theory: Bohem (a).
Cohesion-tension theory: Dixon and Jolly (b).

Step 3: Result
This gives i-c, ii-d, iii-a, iv-b.

Final Answer:
The correct matching is i-c, ii-d, iii-a, iv-b. \[ \boxed{\text{(A) }\text{i - c, ii - d, iii - a, iv - b}} \]
