Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
The Indian Minimum Seed Certification Standards (IMSCS) prescribe statutory minimum germination percentages for certified seeds of field crops.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Matching crops in List I with their minimum certified seed germination standards in List II:
1. Maize (Zea mays) (A) $\to 90\%$ minimum germination (II).
2. Wheat (Triticum aestivum) (B) $\to 85\%$ minimum germination (IV).
3. Mung bean Green gram (Vigna radiata) (C) $\to 75\%$ minimum germination (III).
4. Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) (D) $\to 70\%$ minimum germination (I).

Step 3: Final Answer:
