  • B, D, C, A
  • A, B, D, C
  • B, A, D, C
  • C, B, D, A
Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Recall the facts:
Match one mineral at a time: potassium with nerves, calcium with teeth, iron with oxygen, copper with iron use. Then read the letters in order.

Step 2: Match the facts with the options:
Option (1): Potassium gives B, calcium gives D, iron gives C and copper gives A. Reading them in order gives B, D, C, A, which is exactly this option.
Option (2): This option starts with A, but potassium is not linked to iron metabolism, so it fails.
Option (3): This option gives A for calcium, but calcium is for bones and teeth, so it fails.
Option (4): This option starts with C, but oxygen carrying is not a potassium job, so it fails.

Step 3: Decide:
Only the first option lists B, D, C, A, which agrees with the matching worked out above.

Final Answer:
Option (1) is correct. \[\boxed{\text{B, D, C, A}}\]
