Correct answer: B

To solve this matching question, let's discuss each scientist(s) and their contribution:

A. Frederick Griffith: Known for discovering the "transforming principle," which showed that a substance from dead bacteria could genetically transform living bacteria. This process is called transformation. The correct match for Frederick Griffith is III. Transformation.

B. Francois Jacob & Jacques Monod: They are famous for their work on the lac operon, a set of genes involved in lactose metabolism in bacteria. Their study elucidated how genes are regulated and expressed in cells. The correct match for Francois Jacob and Jacques Monod is IV. Lac operon.

C. Har Gobind Khorana: Known for his research on the genetic code and its role in protein synthesis. Khorana was one of the scientists who elucidated how the sequence of nucleotides in nucleic acids is translated into protein sequences. The correct match for Har Gobind Khorana is I. Genetic code.

D. Meselson & Stahl: Famous for their experiment confirming the semi-conservative mechanism of DNA replication, where each new DNA molecule consists of one old strand and one newly synthesized strand. The correct match for Meselson and Stahl is II. Semi-conservative mode of DNA replication.

Comparing this information with the options provided:

  • Option A: A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV (Incorrect: B does not match II)
  • Option B: A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II (Correct: All matches are accurate)
  • Option C: A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I (Incorrect: A, B, C, and D do not match correctly)
  • Option D: A-IV, B-II, C-II, D-III (Incorrect: A, C, and D do not match correctly)

Therefore, the correct answer is Option B.
