The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)

List-I (Name)

List-II (Use)

(A) Carbon tetrachloride

(II) Solvent

(B) DDT

(I) Pesticide

(C) lodoform

(IV) Antiseptic

(D) Freons-12

(III) Refrigerant

(A) Carbon tetrachloride: Used as a solvent (II) — common organic solvent (though now restricted due to toxicity).

(B) DDT: Used as a pesticide (I) — famous insecticide (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane).

(C) Iodoform: Used as an antiseptic (IV) — CHI₃, applied for its antimicrobial properties (especially historically).

(D) Freons-12: Used as a refrigerant (III) — CFC (dichlorodifluoromethane), widely used in refrigeration/AC (now phased out for ozone depletion).
