The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

To solve the problem of matching terms from Column I to their correct definitions in Column II, we need to understand each term and its corresponding description:

  1. Apoptosis: This refers to a tightly regulated intracellular program in which cells are destined to die. This process is characterized by the ordered dismantling of cellular components and is often described as "programmed cell death." Therefore, Apoptosis matches with (II) Tightly regulated intracellular program in which destined cells die.
  2. Necrosis: This term describes the unregulated death of cells due to injury or disease, often resulting in the progressive degradative action of enzymes. It is characterized by inflammation and damage to surrounding tissues. Therefore, Necrosis matches with (I) Progressive degradative action of Enzymes.
  3. Anaplasia: This refers to the lack of differentiation within cells, often observed in malignant tumors where cells lose their specialized features. Therefore, Anaplasia matches with (IV) Lack of differentiation.
  4. Neoplasm: This term is synonymous with a tumor, which is an abnormal mass of tissue that arises when cells grow and divide more than they should or do not die when they should. Therefore, Neoplasm matches with (III) Abnormal mass of tissue.

Given these explanations, we find that the correct matching is:

  1. (A)-(II): Apoptosis matches with "Tightly regulated intracellular program in which destined cells die."
  2. (B)-(I): Necrosis matches with "Progressive degradative action of Enzymes."
  3. (C)-(IV): Anaplasia matches with "Lack of differentiation."
  4. (D)-(III): Neoplasm matches with "Abnormal mass of tissue."

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