Step 1: Define each knowledge type in List-I.\[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{(A) Meta Knowledge: Knowledge about knowledge, including understanding one's own knowledge and knowing who possesses specific knowledge.} \\ \bullet & \text{(B) Declarative Knowledge: Knowledge of facts, concepts, and ideas that can be explicitly stated. Represents "knowing what" and is often stored in short-term memory.} \\ \bullet & \text{(C) Semantic Knowledge: Long-term memory storage of general world knowledge, concepts, and meanings, independent of personal experience.} \\ \bullet & \text{(D) Tacit Knowledge: Knowledge difficult to articulate or transfer, deeply personal, and acquired through experience.} \\ \end{array}\]
Step 2: Match the definitions with the descriptions in List-II.\[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{(A) Meta Knowledge matches (II) Knowledge about the information needs of others (knowing "who knows what").} \\ \bullet & \text{(B) Declarative Knowledge matches (IV) Knowledge stored in short-term memory (recallable facts).} \\ \bullet & \text{(C) Semantic Knowledge matches (I) Highly organized knowledge residing primarily in long-term memory.} \\ \bullet & \text{(D) Tacit Knowledge matches (III) Knowledge gained and embedded through personal experience.} \\ \end{array}\]
Step 3: Determine the correct combination.The correct matching is A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III.
