Options

A. A-4, B-3, C-1, D-2
B. A-2, B-3, C-4, D-1
C. A-4, B-1, C-2, D-3
D. A-3, B-4, C-2, D-1

Answer

To solve the matching question, we need to identify the correct classification of each fungus listed in Column I with its corresponding group in Column II.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify Rhizopus**:
- Rhizopus is commonly known as a water mold and is classified under the group of fungi called **Phycomycetes**.
- **Match**: A (Rhizopus) → 4 (Phycomycetes)

2. **Identify Penicillium**:
- Penicillium is a well-known mold that is often bluish in color and is commonly found on bread and fruits. It belongs to the group of fungi known as **Ascomycetes** because it produces spores in a sac-like structure.
- **Match**: B (Penicillium) → 1 (Ascomycetes)

3. **Identify Ustilago**:
- Ustilago is a type of fungus that causes smut disease in plants, particularly maize. It is classified under the group of fungi known as **Basidiomycetes**.
- **Match**: C (Ustilago) → 2 (Basidiomycetes)

4. **Identify Alternaria**:
- Alternaria is a genus of fungi that is classified under **Deuteromycetes** (also known as imperfect fungi) because they do not have a known sexual reproduction stage.
- **Match**: D (Alternaria) → 3 (Deuteromycetes)

### Final Matches:
- A → 4 (Rhizopus → Phycomycetes)
- B → 1 (Penicillium → Ascomycetes)
- C → 2 (Ustilago → Basidiomycetes)
- D → 3 (Alternaria → Deuteromycetes)

### Summary of Matches:
- A - 4
- B - 1
- C - 2
- D - 3
