    Correct option is D


    Correct option: (d)
    Evaluation of each statement:
    · Statement (I): TRUE
    · Bromadiolone is a second-generation anticoagulant rodenticide widely used for rat and mouse control.

    · Atrazine is a well-known selective herbicide, mainly used to control broad-leaf weeds.
    · Statement (III): FALSE
    · The Bhopal gas tragedy was caused by methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas.

    · Statement (IV): TRUE
    · Rotenone is a natural botanical compound.
    · It is used as an insecticide and also shows herbicidal activity.
    ✔️ Hence, Statement (III) is false, but Statement (IV) is true, making option (d) correct.
    ❌ Why other options are incorrect
    · Option (a): Incorrect because Statement (III) is false.
    · Option (b): Incorrect because Statements (I), (II), and (IV) are true.
    · Option (c): Incorrect because Statement (II) is true.
