The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

To solve the given problem, we need to match the chemical compounds listed in Column I with their respective chemical tests in Column II. Let's break down the associations: 

  1. Quinine: This alkaloid is known to respond to the Thallequin Test (Test II). This test involves the use of bromine water and ammonia which yield a green color if quinine is present.
  2. Digitoxin: This cardiac glycoside reacts with the Keller-Kiliani Test (Test IV). This test identifies the presence of digitoxin by causing a blue or green color to appear when digitoxin reacts with a mixture of ferric chloride and acetic acid.
  3. Atropine: Identified by the Vitali-Morin Test (Test III), which is a test for tropane alkaloids that produces a violet color if atropine is present upon treatment with fuming nitric acid and alcoholic potassium hydroxide.
  4. Sennosides: These compounds are detected using Borntrager's Test (Test I). This test is used for anthraquinone derivatives, producing a pink or red color after treating the sample with an aqueous solvent and an alkaline solution.

From this analysis, the correct matching becomes:

AQuinineIIThallequin
BDigitoxinIVKeller-Kiliani
CAtropineIIIVitali Morin
DSennosidesIBorntrager's

Thus, the correct answer is:

(A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(III), (D)-(I)

.
