- D.(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
Correct Answer
(B) (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
Solution & Explanation
Answer: (B) (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II). Solution: The four pteridophyte classes and their examples are: Pteropsida — Adiantum (III); Lycopsida — Selaginella (IV); Psilopsida — Psilotum (I); Sphenopsida — Equisetum (II). Matching each class to its representative genus gives option B uniquely. NCERT Reference: Class XI Biology, Plant Kingdom, p.32, lines 23-25 — "The pteridophytes are further classified into four classes: Psilopsida (Psilotum); Lycopsida (Selaginella, Lycopodium), Sphenopsida (Equisetum) and Pteropsida (Dryopteris, Pteris, Adiantum)."
