Match List-I with List-II and select. the correct answer using the codes given below the Lists

List-I     (Celestial Body) | List-II   (Roman God)
A. Mercury | 1. God of the Underworld and Death
B. Pluto | 2. God of Commerce, Eloquence and Skill
C. Mars | 3. God of the Sea
D. Neptune | 4. God of War

The correct answer is Option 4 (A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3). This matching is based on classical Roman mythology, from which the celestial bodies derive their names.

• Mercury (A-2): Named after the swift messenger of the gods, Mercury is the Roman God of Commerce, Eloquence, and Skill. His speed reflects the planet's rapid orbit around the Sun.
• Pluto (B-1): In Roman mythology, Pluto is the God of the Underworld and Death (equivalent to the Greek Hades), fitting for a cold, distant body at the edge of the solar system.
• Mars (C-4): Known for its reddish, blood-like appearance, this planet is named after the Roman God of War.
• Neptune (D-3): Due to its deep blue color, it was named after the Roman God of the Sea.

Other options are incorrect because they misalign these fundamental mythological associations. For instance, Option 1 incorrectly pairs Mercury with the Sea and Neptune with Commerce, contradicting established astronomical nomenclature.
