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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The correct answer is (4) (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II).

Let’s break it down:

(A) Preventive method of weed control: This involves steps taken to prevent the growth of weeds. An example is using weed-free crop seeds (which helps in avoiding the introduction of weed seeds). Thus, the correct match is (A) - (III).

(B) Mechanical method of weed control: This involves physical methods like weeding, tilling, or mowing to remove or control weeds. An example is hand weeding, where weeds are manually removed. Thus, the correct match is (B) - (IV).

(C) Cultural method of weed control: This includes practices like crop rotation to prevent weeds from becoming established. Proper crop rotation is an example of this method, which prevents specific weeds from thriving in a monoculture system. Thus, the correct match is (C) - (I).

(D) Biological method of weed control: This involves the use of natural predators or organisms to control weeds. An example is the control of Lantana camara by Lantana bug, a biological agent that targets the weed. Thus, the correct match is (D) - (II).

Therefore, the correct match is (4) (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II).
