• B. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
• C. A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-I
• D. A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I

Hint:

Tendrils are modified plant structures that serve the purpose of attachment and support. Their origin can vary depending on the plant species.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Let's match the terms from List-I with those from List-II: 

A) Cucumber: The tendril of a cucumber plant is modified from the axillary bud (IV). This structure helps the plant climb and supports its growth. - 

B) Grape: Grapes have tendrils modified from the terminal bud (III). The tendrils emerge from the tips of the shoots to help the plant attach and spread. 

C) Pisum (Pea): In peas, the tendril is modified from the terminal leaflets (II), a structure that helps in climbing and providing support.

 D) Nepenthes: In Nepenthes, also known as pitcher plants, the tendril is modified from the petiole (I). The tendrils are used to hold the pitcher that traps insects for nutrition. Thus, the correct matching is: 
- A) Cucumber → Axillary bud (IV) 
- B) Grape → Terminal bud (III) 
- C) Pisum → Terminal leaflets (II) 
- D) Nepenthes → Petiole (I) Hence, the correct answer is (4) A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I.
