Correct answer
B(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)

Step-by-step explanation

To match List I (Alkali Metals) with List II (Emission Wavelength in nm), we need to know the characteristic emission lines of these elements. Here is the information for the typical emission wavelengths:

  • Lithium (Li): 670.8 nm
  • Sodium (Na): 589.2 nm
  • Rubidium (Rb): 780.0 nm
  • Cesium (Cs): 455.5 nm

Now let's match these with the given options:

  • A. Li (III): 670.8 nm
  • B. Na (I): 589.2 nm
  • C. Rb (IV): 780.0 nm
  • D. Cs (II): 455.5 nm

Therefore, the correct answer is:

Option B

(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
