Show Hint
- P-4, Q-3, R-2, S-1
- P-3, Q-4, R-2, S-1
- P-4, Q-1, R-2, S-3
- P-3, Q-1, R-4, S-2
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Recall key diagnostic features.
- Bryozoa are colonial; each individual in the colony is a zooid. $\Rightarrow$ P $\Rightarrow$ 4.
- Ostracoda are small crustaceans enclosed in a bivalved carapace. $\Rightarrow$ Q $\Rightarrow$ 3.
- Foraminifera build tests composed of multiple chambers. $\Rightarrow$ R $\Rightarrow$ 2.
- Conodont elements are tooth-like with serrated denticles. $\Rightarrow$ S $\Rightarrow$ 1.
Step 2: Compile the mapping.
P-4,\; Q-3,\; R-2,\; S-1 \; \Rightarrow \; matches option (A).
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{\text{(A) P-4, Q-3, R-2, S-1}}
\]
