Match the following: Set-I Set-II (A) Endosmosis (I) High altitude adaptation (B) Exosmosis (II) Desert adaptation (C) Metabolic water (III) Problem for fresh water animal (D) Increase in the RBC production (IV) Problem for marine animals The correct match is

A = III , B = IV , C = II , D = I

A = I , B = III , C = IV , D = II

A = II , B = III , C = IV , D = I
