Question

Match List-I with List-II:

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

Hint:

Insect exoskeleton plates (sclerites) are connected by flexible membranes allowing movement.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Pleuron's retained lateral sclerite near the leg base is the epimeron.
Step 2: Tergum's posterior dorsal plate is the postnotum; sternum's hardened ventral plate is the eusternum.
Step 3: The basal leg sclerite linking to the pleuron is the trochantin.
\[ \boxed{\text{(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)}} \]
