Answer

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

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Peritrichous flagellation**:
- Peritrichous flagellation refers to a type of flagellation where multiple flagella are present all over the body of the organism.
- This type of flagellation is commonly found in **Escherichia coli**.
- **Match**: (a) Peritrichous flagellation → (iii) Escherichia coli

2. **Living fossil**:
- A living fossil is a species that has remained relatively unchanged over a long period and provides insight into the past.
- The most well-known example of a living fossil is **Ginkgo**.
- **Match**: (b) Living fossil → (i) Ginkgo

3. **Rhizophore**:
- A rhizophore is a leafless cylindrical organ that is found in certain plants.
- It is specifically associated with **Selaginella**.
- **Match**: (c) Rhizophore → (iv) Selaginella

4. **Smallest flowering plant**:
- The smallest flowering plant is known as **Wolffia**.
- **Match**: (d) Smallest flowering plant → (v) Wolffia

5. **Largest perennial alga**:
- The largest perennial alga is known as **Macrocystis**.
- **Match**: (e) Largest perennial alga → (ii) Macrocystis

### Final Matches:
- (a) Peritrichous flagellation → (iii) Escherichia coli
- (b) Living fossil → (i) Ginkgo
- (c) Rhizophore → (iv) Selaginella
- (d) Smallest flowering plant → (v) Wolffia
- (e) Largest perennial alga → (ii) Macrocystis

### Summary of the Correct Answer:
- A-3
- B-1
- C-4
- D-5
- E-2
