Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II and choose the correct answer from the options given below: \[ \begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline \textbf{LIST I (Insect pests of citrus)} & \textbf{LIST II (Scientific name)} \\ \hline A. \ \text{Psylla} & I. \ \textit{Papilio demoleus} \\ B. \ \text{Leaf miner} & II. \ \textit{Diaphorina citri} \\ C. \ \text{Lemon butterfly} & III. \ \textit{Toxoptera aurantii} \\ D. \ \text{Aphids} & IV. \ \textit{Phyllocnistis citrella} \\ \hline \end{array} \]

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

Hint:

Remember: Citrus pests — Psylla = Diaphorina citri, Leaf miner = Phyllocnistis citrella, Lemon butterfly = Papilio demoleus, Aphids = Toxoptera aurantii.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Matching pests with their scientific names.
- Psylla is scientifically known as Diaphorina citri → A - II.
- Leaf miner is scientifically known as Phyllocnistis citrella → B - IV.
- Lemon butterfly is scientifically known as Papilio demoleus → C - I.
- Aphids affecting citrus are scientifically known as Toxoptera aurantii → D - III.
Step 2: Verification.
This matching corresponds to option (1).
Step 3: Conclusion.
Thus, the correct answer is A - II, B - IV, C - I, D - III.
