Correct option is C
Folds are classified based on limb inclination and symmetry. The correct matches are:
Symmetrical Fold (A) → Both Limbs Incline Uniformly (II)
- In a symmetrical fold, both limbs dip at equal angles on either side of the axial plane.
- The axial plane is vertical, and the pressure is equal from both sides.
Asymmetrical Fold (B) → Unequal and Irregular Limbs (I)
- In asymmetrical folds, one limb is steeper than the other, making them unequal and irregular.
- Caused by unequal compressional forces.
Monoclinal Fold (C) → One Limb Inclines at a Right Angle (IV)
- A monocline has one limb that remains horizontal, while the other limb bends steeply at an almost right angle.
- Common in areas with fault displacement.
Isoclinal Fold (D) → Both Limbs Become Parallel (III)
- Isoclinal folds are highly compressed, making both limbs nearly parallel to each other.
- Often associated with intense mountain-building processes.
