Question

Match List-I with List-II:

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Hint:

Common physiological disorders in vegetables:
Bean: Hypocotyl necrosis (often Ca-related in seedlings).
Cabbage: Internal tip burn (Ca deficiency in inner leaves).
Celery: Black heart (Ca deficiency in young heart leaves).
Lettuce: Tip burn (Ca deficiency on leaf margins). Many "tip burn" or "heart" disorders are related to calcium mobility and availability.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

We need to match the vegetable crop with its common physiological disorder.
(A) Bean: Beans, particularly snap beans, can suffer from Hypocotyl necrosis (II), especially under certain environmental stresses or due to calcium deficiency in young seedlings.
(B) Cabbage: Cabbage is susceptible to Internal tip burn (III), which is a physiological disorder related to calcium deficiency in the rapidly growing inner leaves, often exacerbated by environmental conditions.
(C) Celery: Celery can develop Black heart (IV), a disorder caused by calcium deficiency in the young, actively growing heart leaves, leading to their blackening and death.
(D) Lettuce: Lettuce is commonly affected by Tip burn (I), which is the necrosis (browning or death) of the margins of young, rapidly expanding leaves, also linked to localized calcium deficiency and environmental factors. Therefore, the correct matching is: (A) - (II) (B) - (III) (C) - (IV) (D) - (I) This corresponds to option (1). (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)
