Solution
Nutrient medium is sterilized by autoclaving at $121^{\circ}\text{C}$ for 15-20 minutes.
Glass wares are sterilized using a hot air oven at $160-180^{\circ}\text{C}$ for 2-3 hours.
Explants are surface sterilized using chemical agents like ethyl alcohol or sodium hypochlorite.
Therefore, the correct matching is A - II, B - III, C - I.
Answer: A - II, B - III, C - I
