Question

Match the following:

• A. I-C-Z, II-D-W, III-B-X, IV-A-Y
• B. I-A-X, II-B-Y, III-C-W, IV-D-Z
• C. I-D-W, II-C-X, III-A-Z, IV-B-Y
• D. I-D-W, II-C-X, III-B-Y, IV-A-Z

Hint:

Aquatic plants adaptations help in matching features: floating, submerged, and root type.
Heterospory = production of two types of spores.
Cladophyll = photosynthetic stem modification.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Salvinia: aquatic fern, floating, has balancing roots → I-C-Z
Hydrilla: submerged, gets water contact, heterosporous → II-D-W
Asparagus: succulent roots, Xylem cavity → III-B-X
Pistia: floating, no contact with soil, leaves form cladophyll → IV-A-Y
Hence, option (1) is correct.
