• Key Indian Plant Quarantine and Pesticide Legislation:
• Plant Quarantine Order (PQ Order): Notified in 2003 under DIPA 1914 $\rightarrow$ (I)
• Destructive Insects and Pests Act (DIPA): Historic primary act passed in 1914 $\rightarrow$ (II)
• Insecticides Rules: Framed and published in 1971 under the Insecticides Act, 1968 $\rightarrow$ (III)
• Food Safety and Standards Act (FSSAI): Enacted in 2006 to consolidate food safety standards $\rightarrow$ (IV)
• Systematic Match: (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV) corresponds to Option 2.

Correct option: (2) (A) - (1), (B) - (Il), (C) - (ll), (D) - (IV)

• Halogenated Agrochemical Structures:
• Flubendiamide ($3\text{-iodo-}N'\text{-(2-mesyl-1,1-dimethylethyl)}-N-\text{\{4-[1,2,2,2-tetrafluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethyl]-o-tolyl\}phthalamide}$) is a unique anthranilic/phthalic diamide insecticide that contains an Iodine (I) atom directly bonded to the aromatic ring.
• Cypermethrin (contains Cl), Chlorantraniliprole (contains Cl and Br), and Parathion (contains no halogens) do not contain iodine.
• Conclusion: Flubendiamide contains an iodine ("I") atom (Option 1).

Correct option: (1) Flubendiamide

• Herbicide Chemical Classification of Fluazifop:
• Fluazifop-P-butyl (butyl $(R)$-2-[4-(5-trifluoromethyl-2-pyridyloxy)phenoxy]propionate) belongs to the Aryloxyphenoxypropionate ("fop") or Phenoxy-phenoxy acid herbicide chemical family.
• It acts via competitive inhibition of the plastidic acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) enzyme in monocotyledonous grasses.
• Conclusion: Fluazifop belongs to the Phenoxy-phenoxy acids group (Option 1).

Correct option: (1) Phenoxy phenoxy acids
