Match List I with List II.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| (A) Assemblage of related families | (I) Phylum/Division |
| (B) Comprises related classes | (II) Class |
| (C) Group of related genera | (III) Order |
| (D) Includes related orders | (IV) Family |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- A(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
- B(A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
- C(A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(III), (D)-(II)
- D(A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I)
Correct answer
A. (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
Step-by-step solution
Based on the definitions of taxonomic categories in NCERT:
(A) An assemblage of related families which exhibit a few similar characters is an Order. Thus, (A) matches with (III).
(B) A higher category comprising related classes is a Phylum (in animals) or Division (in plants). Thus, (B) matches with (I).
(C) A group of related genera with still less number of similarities as compared to genus and species is a Family. Thus, (C) matches with (IV).
(D) The category that includes related orders is a Class. Thus, (D) matches with (II).
The correct matching is (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II).
Option 2 incorrectly swaps the definitions of Order and Class.
Option 3 incorrectly swaps the definitions of Family and Order.
Option 4 incorrectly matches Phylum/Division with Class.
Answer: (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
(A) An assemblage of related families which exhibit a few similar characters is an Order. Thus, (A) matches with (III).
