The correct Answer is:
To solve the matching question, we need to connect the items from Column-I with the correct items from Column-II based on their characteristics and functions. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Identify the characteristics of each item in Column-I. 1. **Underground stem**: This refers to a stem that grows below the ground and is often modified for storage. 2. **Stem tendril**: This is a slender, coiling structure that helps plants climb and provides support. 3. **Stem thorns**: These are sharp, pointed structures that are modified from stems and serve as a defense mechanism. 4. **Flattened stem**: This type of stem is flattened and can help in reducing water loss through transpiration. 5. **Fleshy cylindrical stem**: This type of stem is thick and fleshy, often used for storage and photosynthesis. ### Step 2: Match each item from Column-I with the correct item from Column-II. 1. **(A) Underground stem** → **(3) Potato**: Potatoes are tubers, which are modified underground stems used for food storage. 2. **(B) Stem tendril** → **(5) Cucumber**: Cucumbers have tendrils that help them climb. 3. **(C) Stem thorns** → **(4) Citrus**: Citrus plants like lemons have thorns for protection. 4. **(D) Flattened stem** → **(2) Opuntia**: The Opuntia (cactus) has flattened stems that help reduce transpiration. 5. **(E) Fleshy cylindrical stem** → **(1) Euphorbia**: Euphorbia species often have fleshy stems that are adapted for photosynthesis. ### Step 3: Compile the matches. - (A) → (3) Potato - (B) → (5) Cucumber - (C) → (4) Citrus - (D) → (2) Opuntia - (E) → (1) Euphorbia ### Final Answer: The correct matching is: - (A) → (3) - (B) → (5) - (C) → (4) - (D) → (2) - (E) → (1)
