Correct answer:A

Step-by-step solution

Standard Method

Given: A match-the-following question with List I as Antifertility drug, Tranquilizer, Antihistamine, Antibiotic and List II as Norethindrone, Meprobamate, Seldane, Ampicillin.

Find: The correct matching and hence the correct option.

From standard drug classifications:

  • Norethindrone is an antifertility drug.
  • Meprobamate is a tranquilizer.
  • Seldane is an antihistamine.
  • Ampicillin is an antibiotic.

Therefore, the matching is:

A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV\text{A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV}

This corresponds to Option A.

The solution appears unrelated to the given question and discusses a different chemistry matching question. Hence the answer is derived from the actual question image and options.

Common mistakes

  • Confusing tranquilizers with antihistamines. This is wrong because Meprobamate is used as a tranquilizer, whereas Seldane is an antihistamine. Match each drug by its pharmacological class.

  • Treating Ampicillin as a general medicinal name without recalling its class. This is wrong because Ampicillin is specifically an antibiotic. Identify well-known examples from each category first.

  • Relying on the raw marked answer without checking the actual list entries. This is wrong because the displayed correct-answer field and solution content are inconsistent with the given question. Verify the matching from the table itself.
