The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

To solve this matching question, we need to link each term in Column I with its correct description in Column II based on our knowledge of chemistry. Let's evaluate each pair one by one:

  1. Biodegradable - PHBV (Q):
    • PHBV (Polyhydroxybutyrate-co-valerate) is a biodegradable polymer that is used in medical applications and biodegradable packaging.
    • Hence, the term 'Biodegradable' matches with PHBV.
  2. Synthetic - Polyacrylonitrile (P):
    • Polyacrylonitrile is a synthetic polymer commonly used in the production of acrylic fibers.
    • Thus, 'Synthetic' accurately corresponds to Polyacrylonitrile.
  3. Natural - Rubber (S):
    • Rubber, especially natural rubber, is obtained from the latex of rubber trees and is a natural polymer.
    • This means 'Natural' is best matched with Rubber.
  4. Polyester - Dacron (R):
    • Dacron is a well-known trade name for a type of polyester.
    • Therefore, 'Polyester' is appropriately linked to Dacron.

With these connections established, we can identify that the correct option is:

a-q; b-p; c-s; d-r
