Options
- AA-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
- BA-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
- CA-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
- DA-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
Correct answer
C. A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
Step-by-step solution
Let us match the structures with their correct functions as per NCERT: A. Mesosome: It is a membranous extension of the plasma membrane that helps in respiration, secretion processes, and cell wall formation. (Matches with III) B. Chromatophore: These are membranous extensions in some prokaryotes like cyanobacteria that contain pigments. (Matches with IV) C. Plasmid: It is extrachromosomal circular DNA that confers certain unique phenotypic characters to bacteria, such as resistance to antibiotics. (Matches with II
