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

Hint:

Anthracosis = Coal, Byssinosis = Cotton, Silicosis = Ceramic, Bagassosis = Sugar.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

- Anthracosis is caused by inhalation of coal dust, hence linked to coal mines (IV).
- Byssinosis is an occupational disease of textile workers exposed to cotton dust, linked to the textile industry (I).
- Silicosis occurs in industries where workers inhale silica dust, common in the ceramic industry (III).
- Bagassosis is caused by inhalation of bagasse dust (sugarcane fibre) in the sugar industry (II).
Therefore, the correct matches are: (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(III), (D)-(II).
