The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

To solve the problem of matching List I with List II, we need to classify the given bacteria based on the descriptions provided in List I and find the corresponding examples in List II. Let's evaluate each match: 

  1. Gram positive spherical-shaped nonmotile bacteria (List I: A)
    This description fits Streptococcus sp. (List II: III) because Streptococcus bacteria are typically Gram-positive, spherical (cocci), and nonmotile.
  2. Gram positive sporulating obligate anaerobic bacteria (List I: B)
    This description corresponds to Clostridium tetani (List II: I) since Clostridium species are known to be Gram-positive, form spores, and are obligate anaerobes.
  3. Gram positive rod-shaped nonsporulating bacteria (List I: C)
    This matches with Corynebacterium diphtheriae (List II: IV) as Corynebacterium are Gram-positive rods and do not form spores.
  4. Gram positive sporulating rod-shaped motile bacteria (List I: D)
    This description fits Bacillus anthracis (List II: II). Bacillus species are known to be Gram-positive, sporulating, rod-shaped, and motile.

Therefore, the correct matching of List I to List II is:

AIII
BI
CIV
DII

Thus, the correct answer is: A - III, B - I, C - IV, D - II.
