The correct Answer is:
To identify the incorrect statements from the given options, let's analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i)**: "Bee wax obtained from beehive is deposition of excretory products of honeybee." - **Analysis**: Bee wax is produced by the honeybee from special glands in its abdomen. It is not an excretory product but rather a secretion used to build the beehive. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. 2. **Statement (ii)**: "Fish culture is sometimes done in combination with rice crop so that fish are grown in the water accumulated in the paddy field." - **Analysis**: This practice is known as integrated farming, where fish are raised in the water that accumulates in rice paddies. This is a common and sustainable agricultural practice. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 3. **Statement (iii)**: "Fish feed in different zones of pond to make most efficient use of available food." - **Analysis**: Fish often occupy different zones in a pond, such as the surface, mid-water, and bottom, to utilize the available food resources efficiently. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 4. **Statement (iv)**: "Sahiwal and Murrah are exotic breeds used extensively in cattle farming." - **Analysis**: Sahiwal and Murrah are indigenous breeds of cattle in India, not exotic breeds. Exotic breeds would include those imported from other countries, such as Jersey. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. 5. **Statement (v)**: "Intercropping is growing two or more crops simultaneously on the same field in a definite pattern." - **Analysis**: Intercropping involves planting two or more crops in the same field at the same time, often in a specific arrangement to maximize space and resources. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. ### Summary of Incorrect Statements: - The incorrect statements are **(i)** and **(iv)**.
