Q. Which of the following pairs are correctly matched?

1. Amoeba – binary fission
2. Hydra – budding
3. Viviparous – lay eggs

Select the correct option from the codes given below:
Answer: Only 1 & 2
Notes: Amoeba reproduces by binary fission. Hydra reproduces by budding, an asexual process. Viviparous animals give birth to live young, not eggs; animals that lay eggs are called oviparous. Therefore, only Amoeba–binary fission and Hydra–budding are correctly matched. Viviparous–lay eggs is incorrect.
