`{:(,"Column I",,"Column II"),(A.,"Rhinoceros",(i),"High endemism"),(B.,"In situ conservation",(ii),"Off site conservation"),(C.,"Ex situ conservation",(iii),"On site conservation"),(D.,"Hotspots",(iv),"Kaziranga"):}`
(a) A-(iv), B-(iii), C-(ii), D-(i)
(b) A-(iv), B-(i), C-(ii), D-(iii)
(c) A-(iv), B-(ii), C-(iii), D-(i)
(d) A-(iv), B-(i), C-(iii), D-(ii)

Options

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

Answer

To solve the matching question, we need to connect the items in Column I with the appropriate items in Column II based on our understanding of biodiversity and conservation.

### Step-by-step Solution:

1. **Identify the Match for Rhinoceros**:
- The rhinoceros is primarily found in Kaziranga National Park, which is known for its conservation efforts for this species.
- Therefore, **A (Rhinoceros)** matches with **(iv) Kaziranga**.

2. **Identify the Match for In Situ Conservation**:
- In situ conservation refers to the conservation of species in their natural habitats. This means that the species is preserved on-site, in its natural environment.
- Therefore, **B (In situ conservation)** matches with **(iii) On-site conservation**.

3. **Identify the Match for Ex Situ Conservation**:
- Ex situ conservation involves the conservation of species outside their natural habitats, often in controlled environments such as zoos or botanical gardens. This is considered off-site conservation.
- Therefore, **C (Ex situ conservation)** matches with **(ii) Off-site conservation**.

4. **Identify the Match for Hotspots**:
- Biodiversity hotspots are regions that are rich in endemic species, meaning they have a high degree of endemism.
- Therefore, **D (Hotspots)** matches with **(i) High endemism**.

### Summary of Matches:
- A - (iv) Kaziranga
- B - (iii) On-site conservation
- C - (ii) Off-site conservation
- D - (i) High endemism

### Final Matching:
- A - (iv)
- B - (iii)
- C - (ii)
- D - (i)

### Correct Option:
- The correct option is **(a) A-(iv), B-(iii), C-(ii), D-(i)**.
