EXPLANATION
Steroidal, Laxative and Mucilaginous Medicinal Plants: Senna, Aloe, Isabgol, Solanum and Dioscorea
- Cymbopogon flexuosus (East Indian Lemongrass) $\rightarrow$ (II) Oil: Aerial foliage and herbage are hydro-distilled to extract lemongrass essential oil, rich in citral ($75-85\%$).
- Glycyrrhiza glabra (Liquorice / Mulethi) $\rightarrow$ (IV) Underground stem: The dried stolons and subterranean rhizomes/roots yield glycyrrhizin, used for demulcent, anti-inflammatory, and expectorant actions.
- Plantago ovata (Isabgol) $\rightarrow$ (I) Husk: The dry seed husk (seed coat epidermis) contains mucilage, functioning as a bulk-forming laxative.
- Gymnema sylvestre (Gudmar / Madhunashini) $\rightarrow$ (III) Leaf: Dried foliage contains gymnemic acids, which temporarily suppress the sensation of sweetness and stimulate insulin secretion.
- Correct Combination: (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III), matching Option 2.
Correct option: (2) (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (1), (DB) - (Ill)
