Options

A. `a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-v, e-iv`
B. `a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv, e-v`
C. `a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-v, e-iv`
D. `a-v, b-iv, c-iii, d-ii, e-i`

Answer

To solve the matching question between Column I and Column II, we will analyze each item in Column I and find its corresponding number in Column II.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Cranium/Brainbox (a)**:
- The cranium consists of 8 cranial bones that protect the brain.
- **Match**: (a) Cranium/Brainbox → (ii) 8

2. **Skull (Cranial and facial bones) (b)**:
- The skull is made up of 22 bones: 8 cranial bones and 14 facial bones. Additionally, we include the hyoid bone (1) and the ear ossicles (6).
- Total = 8 (cranial) + 14 (facial) + 1 (hyoid) + 6 (ear ossicles) = 29.
- **Match**: (b) Skull → (i) 29

3. **Face (c)**:
- The face consists of 14 facial bones.
- **Match**: (c) Face → (iii) 14

4. **Hind limb (d)**:
- The hind limb consists of 30 bones.
- **Match**: (d) Hind limb → (v) 30

5. **Ribs (e)**:
- There are 12 pairs of ribs, which equals 24 ribs.
- **Match**: (e) Ribs → (iv) 12 pairs

### Final Matches:
- (a) Cranium/Brainbox → (ii) 8
- (b) Skull → (i) 29
- (c) Face → (iii) 14
- (d) Hind limb → (v) 30
- (e) Ribs → (iv) 12 pairs

### Summary of Matches:
- (a) → (ii)
- (b) → (i)
- (c) → (iii)
- (d) → (v)
- (e) → (iv)
