Practice This Question in Exam Mode

1. Correct Answer: Option B: Only three
 2. Explanation:
     ● Pair I: Cassava - Woody shrub  
       *Correctly matched*: Cassava is indeed a perennial woody shrub. It is cultivated for its starchy tuberous roots, which are a major source of carbohydrates.
     ● Pair II: Ginger - Herb with pseudostem  
       *Correctly matched*: Ginger is an herbaceous perennial plant with a rhizome and a pseudostem. The pseudostem is made up of tightly wrapped leaf bases.
     ● Pair III: Malabar spinach - Herbaceous climber  
       *Correctly matched*: Malabar spinach is an herbaceous climber, known for its fast-growing, twining vine nature.
     ● Pair IV: Mint - Annual shrub  
       *Incorrectly matched*: Mint is not an annual shrub. It is an aromatic perennial herb with soft, non-woody stems.
     ● Pair V: Papaya - Woody shrub  
       *Incorrectly matched*: Papaya is not a woody shrub. It is a large, herbaceous perennial with a single, non-woody trunk.
     Therefore, only three pairs (I, II, and III) are correctly matched.
