Question

Match List I with List II:

LIST I (Concept)	LIST II (Explanation)
A. Growth	Increase in the size of the body parts of the organism
B. Development	The process by which an individual grows and changes throughout the life cycle
C. Evolution	Species specific changes over a long period of time
D. Maturation	The changes that follow an orderly sequence and are largely dictated by the genetic blueprint

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Hint:

Focus on the distinctions between growth, development, evolution, and maturation to correctly match these concepts with their explanations.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The corresponding matches are:

• Growth (A) - (II): Growth is the increase in the size of an organism or its parts.
• Development (B) - (III): Development is the process of change and growth throughout an individual's life cycle.
• Evolution (C) - (IV): Evolution describes species-specific changes over long periods.
• Maturation (D) - (I): Maturation refers to orderly, genetically-determined changes.
