Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This question requires matching specific crop varieties with their corresponding crops. This tests the knowledge of important varieties in horticulture.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Let's match each variety in List-I to its crop in List-II:
\[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{(A) Vengurla: The Vengurla series of varieties (e.g., Vengurla-4, Vengurla-7) are well-known high-yielding varieties of (II) Cashew, developed at the Regional Fruit Research Station, Vengurla. } \\ \bullet & \text{(D) Chakaiya: This is a famous, late-maturing, and highly productive variety of (III) Aonla (Indian Gooseberry), known for its suitability for processing. } \\ \bullet & \text{(C) Arka Sahan: Varieties with the prefix 'Arka' are released from the Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (IIHR), Bengaluru. Arka Sahan is a hybrid variety of (IV) Custard Apple. } \\ \bullet & \text{(B) Shinghara: By elimination, Shinghara matches with (I) Tea. While not as common as other tea clones, it is a recognized variety. } \\ \end{array}\] The correct matching is: A \(\rightarrow\) II, B \(\rightarrow\) I, C \(\rightarrow\) IV, D \(\rightarrow\) III.
