Question

Match the following

• A. A-I-iv, B-II-iii, C-III-ii, D-IV-i
• B. A-III-ii, B-II-iii, C-IV-i, D-I-iv
• C. A-IV-i, B-III-ii, C-II-iii, D-I-iv
• D. A-III-ii, B-I-ii, C-IV-iii, D-II-iv

Hint:

In plant classification, hydrophytes are categorized based on their relationship to water. Submerged hydrophytes are fully submerged, while free floating hydrophytes float freely in water and do not attach to the soil.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Matching Examples with Their Types and Characteristics

Let's analyze the given plant examples and their corresponding types and characteristics:

• A. Schwintia: This is a submerged rooted hydrophyte. These plants are rooted in water and have no contact with air, making it a no contact with soil condition. ➝ Matches with IV-i (Free floating hydrophyte, no contact with soil).
• B. Hydrilla: Hydrilla is an amphibious plant, meaning it grows both in water and air. ➝ Matches with III-ii (Have contact only with water, amphibious plant).
• C. Typha: Typha is a submerged suspended hydrophyte. These plants partly live in water and partly in air. ➝ Matches with II-iii (Partly live in water and partly in air).
• D. Vallisneria: Vallisneria is a free floating hydrophyte and has epiphytophytic characteristics, where it attaches to other plants without touching the soil. ➝ Matches with I-iv (Epiphytophytic).

Thus, the correct matching is: A-IV-i, B-III-ii, C-II-iii, D-I-iv.

The correct answer is: (3) A-IV-i, B-III-ii, C-II-iii, D-I-iv.
