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 (III).
Vitamin A enriched carrots, spinach, and pumpkin have been developed by IARI. Thus, (B) matches with (I).
An iron-fortified rice variety has been developed which contains over five times as much iron as in commonly consumed varieties. Thus, (C) matches with (II).
Vitamin C enriched bitter gourd, bathua, mustard, and tomato have been developed by IARI. Thus, (D) matches with (IV).
The correct matching is A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV.
