The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of selecting the incorrectly matched pair, we will analyze each option provided: 1. **Option A: Tennis, Narrow Utilitarian** - Narrow Utilitarianism suggests that we should protect nature for the economic benefits it provides. Tennis is a sport that utilizes various materials, including rubber, which can be derived from nature. Thus, this option is correctly matched. 2. **Option B: Endemism, species confined to a particular region** - Endemism refers to species that are found exclusively in a specific geographic area and nowhere else. This definition aligns with the concept of endemism, making this option a correct match. 3. **Option C: Lungs of the planet, Amazon rainforest** - The term "lungs of the planet" is often used to describe all rainforests due to their role in producing oxygen and absorbing carbon dioxide. While the Amazon rainforest is significant, it is not the only rainforest that holds this title. Therefore, this option is incorrectly matched. 4. **Option D: Rajasthan's sacred groves that are last refuges of a large number of rare and threatened plants** - Sacred groves in Rajasthan, particularly in the Aravalli hills, are indeed known to protect a variety of rare and threatened plant species due to their religious significance. This option is correctly matched. After analyzing all the options, we conclude that the incorrectly matched pair is: **Answer: Option C - Lungs of the planet, Amazon rainforest.**
