  4. DI-D, II-C, III-A, IV-B

Explanation

The correct option is B because of the biological relationship between the items in List I and their origins or primary locations in List II. I. Fruit matches with D Ovary. In botanical terms, a fruit is a ripened or mature ovary of a flower. II. Seed matches with A Ovule. After fertilization, the ovule develops into a seed. III. Wood matches with C Stem. Wood is the secondary xylem found in the stems of woody plants. IV. Starch matches with B Leaf. Starch is the primary product of photosynthesis, which occurs in the leaves of plants. Therefore, the sequence I-D, II-A, III-C, IV-B is correct.
