Question

Match the following.

\[ \begin{array}{|c|l|c|l|} \hline & \textbf{List-I} & & \textbf{List-II} \\ \hline A & \textit{Azotobacter} & I & \text{Anaerobic Nitrogen Fixer} \\ B & \textit{Clostridium} & II & \text{Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixer} \\ C & \textit{Rhizobium} & III & \text{Free-living Aerobic Fixer} \\ D & \text{Leghemoglobin} & IV & \text{Oxygen Buffering Protein} \\ \hline \end{array} \]

The correct answer is

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

Hint:

Important associations: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \textit{Azotobacter} &\rightarrow \text{Aerobic nitrogen fixer} \textit{Clostridium} &\rightarrow \text{Anaerobic nitrogen fixer} \textit{Rhizobium} &\rightarrow \text{Symbiotic nitrogen fixer} \text{Leghemoglobin} &\rightarrow \text{Maintains low oxygen concentration in root nodules} \end{aligned} } \]
