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

Correct Answer

(A) (a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii)

Solution & Explanation

Answer: (A) (a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii) Solution: Cristae are the infoldings of the inner mitochondrial membrane — (iii). Thylakoids are the flattened membranous sacs present in the stroma of plastids — (iv). The centromere is the primary constriction of a chromosome — (i). Cisternae are the disc-shaped sacs of the Golgi apparatus — (ii). This matches option (a). NCERT Reference: Ch 8, p.97, lines 8–9: "The inner membrane forms a number of infoldings called the cristae (sing.: crista) towards the matrix"; and p.98, lines 16–18: "A number of organised flattened membranous sacs called the thylakoids, are present in the stroma".
