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

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

Correct Answer:

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

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)

List-I (Elements)

List-II (Atomic Mass (u))

(A) Oxygen

(III) 16

(B) Carbon

(I) 12

(C) Calcium

(IV) 40

(D) Sodium

(II) 23

(A) Oxygen — (III) 16: Oxygen has an atomic number of 8. Its most stable isotope contains 8 protons and 8 neutrons, resulting in an atomic mass of 16 u.

(B) Carbon — (I) 12: Carbon has an atomic number of 6. The most common isotope ($^{12}\text{C}$) has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, serving as the standard for the atomic mass scale with a mass of 12 u.

(C) Calcium — (IV) 40: Calcium has an atomic number of 20. Its standard atomic mass is approximately 40 u.

(D) Sodium — (II) 23: Sodium has an atomic number of 11. It has 11 protons and 12 neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 23 u.
