Match column I with column II and select the correct option from the given codes.
`{:("Column I",,"Column II"),("A. Pedicel",,"(i) Reduced leaf"),("B. Peduncle",,"(ii) Stalk of the flower"),("C. Bract",,"(iii) Stalk of the leaf"),("D. Petiole",,"(iv) Infloresences axis"):}`

Options

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

Answer

To solve the matching question, we will analyze each term in Column I and find its corresponding definition in Column II.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the terms in Column I:**
- A. Pedicel
- B. Peduncle
- C. Bract
- D. Petiole

2. **Define each term:**
- **A. Pedicel:** The pedicel is the stalk of a single flower.
- **B. Peduncle:** The peduncle is the main stalk of an inflorescence (the flowering part of a plant).
- **C. Bract:** A bract is a modified leaf that is often reduced in size.
- **D. Petiole:** The petiole is the stalk that attaches a leaf to the stem.

3. **Match with Column II:**
- **A. Pedicel** matches with **(ii) Stalk of the flower.**
- **B. Peduncle** matches with **(iv) Inflorescence axis.**
- **C. Bract** matches with **(i) Reduced leaf.**
- **D. Petiole** matches with **(iii) Stalk of the leaf.**

4. **Compile the matches:**
- A → (ii)
- B → (iv)
- C → (i)
- D → (iii)

5. **Select the correct option from the given codes:**
- The correct matches are:
- A2 (Pedicel - Stalk of the flower)
- B4 (Peduncle - Inflorescence axis)
- C1 (Bract - Reduced leaf)
- D3 (Petiole - Stalk of the leaf)

6. **Final Answer:**
- The correct option is **A: A2, B4, C1, D3.**
