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

To match List-I with List-II, we need to derive the dimensional formulas for each physical quantity listed in List-II.

1. Current density (III):
Current density is defined as the electric current per unit cross-sectional area.
Current density (J) = Current Area
The dimensional formula for current is [A] and for area is [L2]. Therefore, the dimensional formula for current density is:
[ J ] = [ A ] [ L 2 ] = [ M 0 L - 2 T 0 A 1 ]
This matches with (A)-(III).

2. Conductance (I):
Conductance is the reciprocal of electrical resistance. First, let's find the dimensional formula of resistance (R) using Ohm's law:
R = Potential Difference (V) Current (I)
Since potential difference V is work done per unit charge:
V = Work (W) Charge (q) = W I · t
This gives:
R = W I 2 · t
The dimensional formula for Work is [M L2 T-2], current is [A], and time is [T]:
[ R ] = [ M L 2 T - 2 ] [ A 2 T ] = [ M L 2 T - 3 A - 2 ]
Since Conductance (G) is the reciprocal of resistance:
[ G ] = 1 [ R ] = [ M - 1 L - 2 T 3 A 2 ]
This matches with (B)-(I).

3. Specific resistance (IV):
Specific resistance (or resistivity, ρ) is related to resistance by the formula:
R = ρ l A ρ = R A l
Substituting the dimensional formulas of resistance, area, and length:
[ ρ ] = [ M L 2 T - 3 A - 2 ] · [ L 2 ] [ L ] = [ M L 3 T - 3 A - 2 ]
This matches with (C)-(IV).

4. Electrical conductivity (II):
Electrical conductivity (σ) is the reciprocal of specific resistance (resistivity):
[ σ ] = 1 [ ρ ] = [ M - 1 L - 3 T 3 A 2 ]
This matches with (D)-(II).
