Option B

A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV

A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV

Solution :

To match the scientific names of the organisms in List I with their common names in List II, we can analyze each genus individually:


1. A. Pterophyllum: Commonly known as the Angel fish. It is a genus of freshwater fish from the family Cichlidae, widely popular in aquariums. Thus, A matches with III.


2. B. Myxine: Commonly known as the Hag fish. It is a jawless fish (class Myxini) known for producing abundant slime. Thus, B matches with I.


3. C. Pristis: Commonly known as the Saw fish. It is a genus of cartilaginous fish characterized by a long, narrow, flattened rostrum lined with sharp transverse teeth, resembling a saw. Thus, C matches with II.


4. D. Exocoetus: Commonly known as the Flying fish. It is a genus of marine fish known for their ability to make gliding flights out of the water using their unusually large pectoral fins. Thus, D matches with IV.


Combining these matches, we get:
A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV


Therefore, the correct option is A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV.
