List I	List II
(A) Siphonogamy and zooidogamy	(i) Amphibians of plant kingdom
(B) Living fossils	(ii) Arachis
(C) Liverworts	(iii) Ginkgo
(D) Double fertilisation	(iv) Cycas
(v) Laminaria

A. A-V, B-IV, C-I, D-II
B. A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
C. A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
D. A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II

Answer 1

Hint:- Siphonogamy and zooidogamy is a type of fertilisation, Living fossils are the living examples of an extinct group of organisms, Liverworts are bryophytes, Double fertilisation occurs in plants of the pea family.

Complete answer:
Let's look at (A) in the list one. Siphonogamy and Zooidogamy is given. Siphonogamy is a type of fertilisation where there is formation of pollen tubes for the transfer of the male cells to the eggs. Zooidogamy is also a type of fertilisation where the male gametes swim in a path of water to the female gametes. Both the Siphonogamy and Zooidogamy are a type of fertilisation which occurs in Cycas and therefore (A) from List I matches to (iv) Cycas of List II.
Moving to (B) of List I in the question which is Living fossils. From List II, Gingko is called as the living fossils and these are non-flowering plants which is one of the oldest living plant species which comes from the leaves of ginkgo trees. Thus (B) Living fossil from List I matches to (iii) Ginkgo from List II.
Moving to (C) of List I i.e., Liverworts. Liverworts are bryophytes which are a group of non-vascular plants similar to mosses. Bryophytes are those plants which can live both on land and water and therefore they are considered as Amphibians of the plant kingdom. Thus (C) Liverworts from List I matches to (i) Amphibians of plant kingdom.
Last in the List I is (D) Double fertilisation. Double fertilisation is a fertilisation which occurs in plants of the pea family where there is fusion of male gametes and the female gametes which zygote and then the zygote develops to form the embryo. Arachis is a group of flowering plants which belongs to the pea family and double fertilisation occurs in these plants. Thus, (D) Double fertilisation matches (ii) Arachis.
Thus, the correct option is D i.e., A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II

Note: Since siphonogamy and zooidogamy occurs in Cycas therefore, it matches Cycas. Ginkgo are the living fossils due to which it matches to ginkgo. Liverworts are examples of bryophytes and bryophytes are considered as amphibians of plant kingdom due to which it matches (i) from list II. Double fertilisation happens in pea plants i.e., Arachis.
