	Column 1(Common names)		Column 2(Biological names)
A	Starfish	(i)	Sepia
B	Jellyfish	(ii)	Asterias
C	Devilfish	(iii)	Aurelia
D	Cuttlefish	(iv)	Octopus
		(v)	Hippocampus

A) A-(ii), B-(iii), C-(iv), D-(i)
B) A-(iii), B-(iv), C-(i), D-(v)
C) A-(ii), B-(i), C-(iv), D- (iii)
D) A-(v), B-(i), C-(iv), D-(ii)

Answer 1

Hint: Biological names are unique names used by the scientific community to accurately and universally identify species.

Complete answer:
This question matches the following type of questions in which we have to match some common names with their biological names. So, first of all what is a common name and biological name. Common name: These are used locally and may vary by region or country. Biological name: These are unique names used by the scientific community to accurately and universally identify species.
So, the first common name is starfish. The biological name of Starfish is asterias. So, A goes with ii. The second common name is jellyfish. The biological name of jellyfish is Aurelia. So, B goes with iii. Next common name is Devil fish. The biological name of Devil fish is octopus, So, C goes with iv. The next common name is Cuttlefish and the biological name of Cuttlefish is sepia. So D goes with i).
So we have (A) Starfish - Asterias
(B) Jellyfish - Aurelia
(C) Devilfish - Octopus
(D) Cuttlefish - Sepia
So, the correct answer is (a).

Note: You may also find different biological names for these animals. We know there is only one biological name for an animal but for example, you may find different names for jellyfish because there are different kinds of jellyfish and each of them have their specific biological name and in this question it is not specific which kind of jellyfish we are talking about.
