Match different organisms in column I with their related characteristics in column Il and select the correct option from the codes given below.
`{:("Column I", "Column II"),("(a) Entamoeba histolytica","(i) Abrown alga which is a rich source of iodine"),("(b) Bacteriophage", "(ii) A protozoan that in humanbeings by living in the large intestine of humans"),("(c )Penicillium","(iii)A virus which infects a bacterial cell"),("(d) Fucus","(iv) A fungus used to obtain antibiotic"):}`

Options

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

Answer

To solve the matching question, we need to pair the organisms listed in Column I with their corresponding characteristics in Column II. Let's go through each organism one by one:

1. **Entamoeba histolytica**:
- This is a protozoan that acts as a parasite in humans, specifically living in the large intestine.
- Therefore, it matches with (ii) "A protozoan that lives in the large intestine of humans."

2. **Bacteriophage**:
- A bacteriophage is a type of virus that specifically infects and kills bacteria.
- Thus, it corresponds to (iii) "A virus which infects a bacterial cell."

3. **Penicillium**:
- Penicillium is a fungus that is well-known for producing the antibiotic penicillin.
- Hence, it matches with (iv) "A fungus used to obtain antibiotic."

4. **Fucus**:
- Fucus is a type of brown algae that is recognized for being a rich source of iodine.
- Therefore, it corresponds to (i) "A brown alga which is a rich source of iodine."

Now, let's summarize the matches:
- (a) Entamoeba histolytica → (ii)
- (b) Bacteriophage → (iii)
- (c) Penicillium → (iv)
- (d) Fucus → (i)

So the correct option from the codes given would be A.
