A. (i) -(a) , (ii) - (b) , (iii) - (c) , (iv) - (d)
B. (i) - (b) , (ii) -(d) , (iii) - (c) , (iv) - (a)
C. (i) - (b) , (ii) -(c), (iii) - (a), (iv) - (d)
D. (i) - (d) , (ii) - ( b) , (iii) - (a) , (iv) -(c).

Answer

To solve the matching question, we need to identify the correct relationships between the terms in Column I (cell types) and their functions or characteristics in Column II. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

### Step 1: Identify the function of Chondrocyte
- **Chondrocyte**: These are specialized cells found in cartilage. Their primary function is to form and maintain cartilage.
- **Match**: (i) Chondrocyte → (b) Cartilage forming.

### Step 2: Identify the function of Osteocyte
- **Osteocyte**: These are mature bone cells that maintain bone tissue and help in the regulation of mineral content in the bone.
- **Match**: (ii) Osteocyte → (c) Bone maintaining.

### Step 3: Identify the function of Osteoblasts
- **Osteoblasts**: These are bone-forming cells responsible for the synthesis of bone matrix and mineralization.
- **Match**: (iii) Osteoblasts → (a) Bone forming.

### Step 4: Identify the function of Osteoclast
- **Osteoclast**: These are large cells that break down bone tissue, a process known as bone resorption. They are often referred to as "bone-eating" cells.
- **Match**: (iv) Osteoclast → (d) Bone eating.

### Final Matching
Now we can summarize the matches:
- (i) Chondrocyte → (b) Cartilage forming
- (ii) Osteocyte → (c) Bone maintaining
- (iii) Osteoblasts → (a) Bone forming
- (iv) Osteoclast → (d) Bone eating

### Complete Answer
The final matches are:
- (i) → (b)
- (ii) → (c)
- (iii) → (a)
- (iv) → (d)
