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

Answer

To solve the matching question, we need to identify the correct descriptions for each term in Column I based on their definitions. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution:

### Step 1: Identify the definition of "Out-crossing"
- **Definition**: Out-crossing refers to the mating of animals of the same breed but having no common ancestors on either side of their pedigree for 4-6 generations.
- **Match**: This corresponds to (ii) in Column II.

### Step 2: Identify the definition of "Interspecific hybridisation"
- **Definition**: Interspecific hybridisation is the mating of animals of two different species.
- **Match**: This corresponds to (iii) in Column II.

### Step 3: Identify the definition of "Cross-breeding"

- **Match**: This corresponds to (iv) in Column II.

### Step 4: Identify the definition of "Inbreeding"
- **Definition**: Inbreeding is the mating of closely related individuals within the same breed.
- **Match**: This corresponds to (i) in Column II.

### Summary of Matches
- A (Out-crossing) → (ii)
- B (Interspecific hybridisation) → (iii)
- C (Cross-breeding) → (iv)
- D (Inbreeding) → (i)

### Final Matching
- A → ii
- B → iii
- C → iv
- D → i

### Conclusion
The correct option based on the matches is:
- **Option 1**: A-ii, B-iii, C-iv, D-i.
