Factual
Non-traditional
Answer: (b) Only three Explanation: • Cassava: A woody shrub with tuberous roots, correctly matched. • Ginger: A herbaceous plant with a pseudostem (formed by leaf sheaths), correctly matched. • Malabar spinach: A herbaceous climber, correctly matched. • Mint: A perennial herb, not an annual shrub, so this is incorrectly matched. • Papaya: A small tree or shrub-like plant, often considered a woody shrub, correctly matched. Thus, I, II, and III are correct, making only three pairs correct, so the answer is (b).
