Solution

According to the strategies for enhancement in food production:

Maize hybrids developed in the year 2000 have twice the amount of the amino acids lysine and tryptophan compared to existing maize hybrids. Thus, (A) matches with (II).

Wheat variety Atlas 66 has a high protein content and has been used as a donor for improving cultivated wheat. Thus, (B) matches with (IV).

The Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) has released vitamin A, iron, and calcium enriched spinach. Thus, (C) matches with (I).

IARI has also released vitamin C enriched tomato, bitter gourd, bathua, and mustard. Thus, (D) matches with (III).

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

Answer: (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III)
