Match List I with List II: \begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline \text{List I (Nobel Prize Winners)} & \text{List II (Area/Subject)} \\ \hline A. \text{Md. Yunus} & I. \text{Chemistry} \\ B. \text{Abdus Salam} & II. \text{Peace} \\ C. \text{Venkatraman Ramakrishna} & III. \text{Economics} \\ D. \text{Marie Ressa} & IV. \text{Physics} \\ \hline \end{array} Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Step-by-step Solution:
This question requires matching these Nobel laureates with the field in which they received their prize. Here is the correct pairing based on the provided answer key.
| Nobel Prize Winner (List I) | Area/Subject (List II) |
|---|---|
| A. Md. Yunus | III. Economics |
| B. Abdus Salam | IV. Physics |
| C. Venkatraman Ramakrishnan | I. Chemistry |
| D. Maria Ressa | II. Peace |
This question is slightly tricky. While Muhammad Yunus's work is in microfinance (an economic field), he was officially awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for his work's impact on peace. However, since Maria Ressa (a more recent winner) also won the Peace Prize, the question categorizes Yunus's award by its subject matter, **Economics**, to make the matching unique.
The correct combination of matches is A - III; B - IV; C - I; D - II.
Final Answer: The correct option is B.
