Match List-I with List-II:

List-I (Crops)	List-II (Varieties)
(A) Wheat	(I) Pusa Sugandh 5
(B) Rice	(II) HD 2932
(C) Barley	(III) Pusa Composite 383
(D) Pearl millet	(IV) DWR 28

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (B) (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)

Explanation:
• Wheat (HD 2932): Also known as 'Pusa Wheat 111', it is a popular variety developed by IARI for timely sown, irrigated conditions.
• Rice (Pusa Sugandh 5): An aromatic Basmati rice variety known for its long grains and high yield.
• Barley (DWR 28): A variety released for commercial cultivation in the North Western Plains Zone.
• Pearl Millet (Pusa Composite 383): A high-yielding Bajra variety developed for better nutritional quality and productivity.

Information Booster:
• HD varieties are typically developed by the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi (Wheat).
• DWR (Directorate of Wheat Research) now IIWBR, also handles Barley research, hence the prefix DWR for barley varieties.

Additional Knowledge:
• Understanding variety prefixes can help solve matching questions: 'HD' often indicates IARI Wheat, 'Pusa Sugandh' indicates IARI Aromatic Rice, and 'Pusa Composite' often refers to millets or maize.
