Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve the problem of matching List I with List II correctly, we need to understand the classification of different types of stamen arrangements in plants and their corresponding examples.

Explanation of Terms:

1. Monoadelphous: Stamens are united into a single group. Example: China-rose.
2. Diadelphous: Stamens are united into two groups. Example: Pea.
3. Polyadelphous: Stamens are united into more than two groups. Example: Citrus.
4. Epiphyllous: Stamens are attached to the petals (perigyny). Example: Lily.

Accordingly, the correct matches are:

• A-IV: Monoadelphous - China-rose
• B-II: Diadelphous - Pea
• C-I: Polyadelphous - Citrus
• D-III: Epiphyllous - Lily

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