Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Use two symptoms you already know for certain.
Mottling of leaves in Citrus is a textbook sign of zinc deficiency, so item I pairs with C. Heart rot in beet root is caused by boron deficiency, so item II pairs with E.
Step 2: Test the four options against these two facts.
Any option that does not keep I with C and II with E together can be dropped straight away.
Step 3: Apply the filter.
Only the option carrying both I-C and II-E survives, which also carries III-D and IV-B.
Final answer: Option 2, I-C, II-E, III-D, IV-B.
