Match the organisms in column I with habitats in column II. Column-I: (A) Halophiles (B) Thermoacidophiles (C) Methanogens (D) Cyanobacteria Column-II: (i) Hot springs (ii) Salty areas (iii) Guts of ruminants (iv) Freshwater environment Select the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Correct answer: (A)-ii, (B)-i, (C)-iii, (D)-iv

Solution

Halophiles thrive in high-salt environments, thermoacidophiles live in hot acidic places like hot springs, methanogens are common in anaerobic guts of ruminants, and cyanobacteria are often found in freshwater. These pairings give the full correct match.
