Match List-I with List-II

List-I (Agricultural Land use Category)	List-II (Characteristics)
(A) Culturable Waste Land (B) Current Fallow (C) Fallow other than Current Fallow (D) Net Sown Area	(I) Land which has been left uncultivated for one or less than one agricultural year. (II) Land which has been left uncultivated for more than five years. (III) Physical extent of land on which crops are sown and harvested. (IV) Land which has been left uncultivated for more than one year but less than five years.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III).

Let us analyze each agricultural land use category listed in List-I and match it with its correct characteristic from List-II based on standard land-use classification systems:

(A) Culturable Waste Land matches with (II) Land which has been left uncultivated for more than five years.
Culturable waste land refers to land that is available for cultivation, either as land once cultivated but not cultivated for more than five years in succession, or land never cultivated before.

(B) Current Fallow matches with (I) Land which has been left uncultivated for one or less than one agricultural year.
Current fallow is the land area left uncultivated during the current agricultural year to regain its fertility through natural processes.

(C) Fallow other than Current Fallow matches with (IV) Land which has been left uncultivated for more than one year but less than five years.
This category includes land that has temporarily gone out of cultivation and has remained uncultivated for a period of not less than one year and not more than five years.

(D) Net Sown Area matches with (III) Physical extent of land on which crops are sown and harvested.
Net sown area represents the total physical area sown with crops and orchards. Even if a crop is sown more than once on the same land in an agricultural year, it is counted only once in the net sown area.

Matching these definitions, we get:
(A) → (II)
(B) → (I)
(C) → (IV)
(D) → (III)
