Step 1: Understand the Problem.
We need to match each animal in Column - I with its corresponding gaits in Column - II. The gaits are specific movements associated with each animal.
Step 2: Analyze Each Animal and Its Corresponding Gait.
Let's determine the appropriate gait for each animal:
- (a) Rabbit:
- Rabbits move by hopping or leaping.
- The correct gait is Leap.
- Match: Rabbit → Leap → (III).
- (b) Lamb:
- Lambs move by walking in a gentle, steady manner.
- The correct gait is Amble.
- Match: Lamb → Amble → (II).
- (c) Cock:
- Cocks move by strutting, which is a proud, confident walk.
- The correct gait is Strut.
- Match: Cock → Strut → (IV).
- (d) Elephant:
- Elephants move by frisking, which refers to their slow, deliberate movement.
- The correct gait is Frisk.
- Match: Elephant → Frisk → (I).
Step 3: Form the Correct Sequence.
Based on the matches:
Rabbit → Leap → (III)
Lamb → Amble → (II)
Cock → Strut → (IV)
Elephant → Frisk → (I)
The correct sequence is:
\[ \text{a-III, b-II, c-IV, d-I} \]
Step 4: Match with the Options.
The correct sequence corresponds to Option (2): a-III, b-I, c-IV, d-II.
