iv. Brain of a cell d. Lysosomes
Options:

i-a, ii-b, iii-c, iv-d

i-b, ii-a, iii-c, iv-d

i-d, ii-b, iii-c, iv-a

i-b, ii-a, iii-d, iv-c

Correct Answer:

i-b, ii-a, iii-d, iv-c

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) – i-b, ii-a, iii-d, iv-c

Here is the correct match between Column A and Column B:

Column-A            Column-B

i. Powerhouse of a cell    b. Mitochondria

ii. Kitchen of a cell            a. Plastid

iii. Suicidal bags of a cell  d .Lysosomes

iv. Brain of a cell               c. Nucleus

Powerhouse of a cell (Mitochondria): Mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell because they are the primary sites for cellular respiration, where energy (in the form of ATP) is produced.

Kitchen of a cell (Plastid): Plastids are involved in the synthesis and storage of food. Chloroplasts, a type of plastid, are particularly important in the process of photosynthesis, which is like the kitchen where food (glucose) is prepared.

Suicidal bags of a cell (Lysosomes): Lysosomes are often called suicidal bags because they contain digestive enzymes that can break down cellular waste and even the cell itself in certain conditions.

Brain of a cell (Nucleus): The nucleus is considered the brain of the cell as it contains genetic material (DNA) and controls cellular activities, including growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
