Options

A. (a) - (ii), (b) - (iii), (c) - (i), (d) - (ii)
B. (a) - (i), (b) - (ii), (c) - (iv), (d) - (iii)
C. (a) - (ii), (b) - (iii), (c) - (iv), (d) - (i)
D. (a) - (iii), (b) - (ii), (c) - (iv), (d) - (i)

Answer

To solve the matching question, we need to analyze each item in column one and find its corresponding match in column two. Here’s the step-by-step solution:

1. **Identify Bulliform Cells**:
- Bulliform cells are specialized cells that are found in isobilateral leaves. Their main function is to help in the regulation of water loss by folding and unfolding the leaf.
- **Match**: (a) Bulliform cells → (ii) Isobilateral leaf

2. **Identify Subsidiary Cells**:
- Subsidiary cells are modifications of the surrounding cells of stomata. They play a crucial role in the functioning of stomata by regulating their opening and closing.
- **Match**: (b) Subsidiary cells → (iii) Stomata

3. **Identify Epithem**:
- Epithem is a tissue that is involved in the process of guttation, which is the exudation of water droplets from the leaves. It is associated with hydathodes, which are specialized structures that facilitate this process.
- **Match**: (c) Epithem → (iv) Hydathodes

4. **Identify Complementary Cells**:
- Complementary cells are found surrounding lenticels, which are small openings in the bark of woody plants that allow for gas exchange.
- **Match**: (d) Complementary cells → (i) Lenticels

Now, we can summarize the matches:
- (a) Bulliform cells → (ii) Isobilateral leaf
- (b) Subsidiary cells → (iii) Stomata
- (c) Epithem → (iv) Hydathodes
- (d) Complementary cells → (i) Lenticels

Thus, the correct combination is:
- A - ii
- B - iii
- C - iv
- D - i

This corresponds to option number 3.
