    Question

    Given below are various plant natural products and their basic structural unit:

    List I:
    Natural products


    List II:

    ​Basic unit
    A. Phenolics
    I. Five-carbon isoprene unit
    B. Alkaloids
    II. Glucose unit attached by O-β-D-glucosyl linkage
    C. Terpenoids
    III. Nitrogen containing
    D. Cyanogenic glycoside
    IV. Aromatic arene ring with OH group

    Which of the following options represents the correct match of natural product and the basic unit:

    A.

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

    B.

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

    C.

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

    D.

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

    Correct option is D

    Explanation-

    A. Phenolics → IV. Aromatic arene ring with OH group
    Phenolics are defined by the presence of a benzene ring bearing one or more hydroxyl (OH) groups.
    Example: Flavonoids, tannins.

    B. Alkaloids → III. Nitrogen containing
    Alkaloids are nitrogen-containing compounds, often with complex ring structures. They are usually derived from amino acids.
    Example: Morphine, quinine, nicotine.

    C. Terpenoids → I. Five-carbon isoprene unit
    Terpenoids (also called isoprenoids) are built from isoprene (C₅H₈) units. They can form mono-, di-, sesqui-, and poly-terpenes.

    D. Cyanogenic glycoside → II. Glucose unit attached by O-β-D-glucosyl linkage
    Cyanogenic glycosides consist of a sugar moiety (usually glucose) linked to a cyanohydrin group. The glucose is attached via O-β-D-glucosyl linkage.

    Correct match:
    A - IV, B - III, C - I, D - II → Option d
