Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

Let us break down the associations between the substances in List I and their corresponding categories in List II:

A. Serotonin:  Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is often associated with mood regulation. It plays a role in the central nervous system and is linked to feelings of well-being and happiness. Substances that influence serotonin levels are often used in the treatment of various mental health conditions, including anxiety and depression. Therefore, serotonin is associated with Tranquilizer (III).

B. Phenelzine:  Phenelzine is an antidepressant drug. It belongs to a class of drugs known as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), and it works by increasing the levels of certain chemicals in the brain, including serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. It is used in the treatment of depression. Therefore, Phenelzine is associated with Anti-depressant drug (IV).

C. Terfenadine: Terfenadine is an antihistamine. Antihistamines are commonly used to treat allergic reactions by blocking the effects of histamine, a substance released during allergic reactions. Terfenadine was used to treat allergies but was later withdrawn from the market due to safety concerns related to its potential to cause cardiac arrhythmias. Therefore, Terfenadine is associated with Antihistamine (I).

D. Vancomycin: Vancomycin is an antibiotic. It is used to treat bacterial infections, particularly those caused by Gram-positive bacteria. Vancomycin is often reserved for serious infections due to its potential side effects and the risk of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, Vancomycin is associated with Antibiotic (II).

Putting it all together:
A. Serotonin is associated with Tranquilizer (III).
B. Phenelzine is associated with Anti-depressant drug (IV).
C. Terfenadine is associated with Antihistamine (I).
D. Vancomycin is associated with Antibiotic (II).

The correct match is 3. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II.
