(A) Protogyny	(I) Calotropis
(B) Herkogamy	(II) Primula
(C) Self sterility	(III) Gloriosa
(D) Heterostyly	(IV) Thea

Choose the correct option

• A. A - III, B - IV, C - II, D - I
• B. A - III, B - I, C - II, D - IV
• C. A - III, B - I, C - IV, D - II
• D. A - II, B - III, C - IV, D - I

Hint:

Protogyny - Gloriosa, herkogamy - Calotropis, self sterility - Thea, heterostyly - Primula.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
Each outbreeding device is linked to a typical plant.

Step 2: Match the first two
Protogyny, where the stigma ripens first, is seen in Gloriosa (A - III). Herkogamy, a physical barrier, is seen in Calotropis (B - I).

Step 3: Match the last two
Self sterility is seen in Thea (C - IV). Heterostyly, with styles of different lengths, is seen in Primula (D - II).

Final Answer:
The matching is A - III, B - I, C - IV, D - II. \[ \boxed{\text{(C) }\text{A - III, B - I, C - IV, D - II}} \]
