Match column I with column II and select the correct option from the codes given below.
`{:("Column I", "Column II"),("Sponge", (i) "Tuber"),("Yeast", (ii) "Offset"),("Potato" ,(iii)"Gemmules"),("Water hyacinth",(iv)"Budding"):}`

Options

A. A-(iv), B-(i), C-(ii),D-(iii)
B. A-(iii), B-(i), C-(iv),D-(ii)
C. A-(iii),B-(iv), C-(i),D-(ii)
D. A-(iv),B-(ii),C-(i),D-(iii)

Answer

To solve the matching question between Column I and Column II, we will analyze each item in Column I and find its corresponding match in Column II based on the type of asexual reproduction they exhibit.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the first item in Column I: Sponge**
- Sponges reproduce asexually through a process called gemmulation, where they form internal buds known as gemmules.
- **Match:** Sponge → Gemmules (iii)

2. **Identify the second item in Column I: Yeast**
- Yeast reproduces asexually through budding, where a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud on the parent organism.
- **Match:** Yeast → Budding (iv)

3. **Identify the third item in Column I: Potato**
- Potatoes reproduce asexually through tubers, which are swollen underground stems that can give rise to new plants.
- **Match:** Potato → Tuber (i)

4. **Identify the fourth item in Column I: Water hyacinth**
- Water hyacinth reproduces asexually by producing offsets, which are small daughter plants that grow from the mother plant.
- **Match:** Water hyacinth → Offset (ii)

### Final Matches:
- Sponge → Gemmules (iii)
- Yeast → Budding (iv)
- Potato → Tuber (i)
- Water hyacinth → Offset (ii)

### Conclusion:
The correct matches are:
- (Sponge, iii)
- (Yeast, iv)
- (Potato, i)
- (Water hyacinth, ii)

Thus, the correct answer is **C**.
