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

A. Conjunctivitis | 1. Eyes
B. Dermatitis | 2. Joints
C. Gout | 3. Skin

Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: B
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 (A-1, B-3, C-2, D-4). This matching correctly identifies the physiological impact of each medical condition:

  • A-1 (Conjunctivitis - Eyes): Commonly known as pink eye, it is the inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin membrane covering the white part of the eyes.
  • B-3 (Dermatitis - Skin): The root "derma" refers to the skin; dermatitis is a general term for skin inflammation or rashes.
  • C-2 (Gout - Joints): Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis caused by urate crystals, primarily affecting the joints, often starting in the big toe.
  • D-4 (Meningitis - Cord): This is the inflammation of the meninges, the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

Other options are incorrect because they mismatch these established medical definitions. For instance, Option 1 incorrectly links Conjunctivitis to joints and Dermatitis to the spinal cord, which contradicts clinical anatomy.
