Options
- AA-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
- BA-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
- CA-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
- DA-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
Correct answer
C. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
Step-by-step solution
According to NCERT classification of secondary metabolites: Alkaloids include morphine and codeine. Thus, A matches with III. Toxins include abrin and ricin. Thus, B matches with IV. Lectins include concanavalin A. Thus, C matches with I. Drugs include vinblastin and curcumin. Thus, D matches with II. Therefore, the correct matching is A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II. Answer: A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
