Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The objective is to align the crops in List-I with their corresponding diseases in List-II. Utilizing agricultural expertise, the accurate pairings are determined as follows:

List-I (Name of crop)	List-II (Disease of crop)
(A) Paddy	Tikka (Leaf spot) - III
(B) Cotton	Loose smut - II
(C) Groundnut	Red rot - I
(D) Gram	Rust - IV

The reasoning for each pairing is as follows:

• Paddy (A): Commonly suffers from Tikka (Leaf spot), thus linking it to (III).
• Cotton (B): Is vulnerable to Loose smut, correctly matched with (II).
• Groundnut (C): Is known to be affected by Red rot, establishing the connection with (I).
• Gram (D): Frequently contracts Rust, leading to its association with (IV).

The definitive matching sequence is: (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV).
