Step-by-Step Solution

To determine the correct matching between the amino acids in List-I and the functional group tests for their side chains in List-II, we analyze the side chain structure of each amino acid:

  1. A. Glutamine:

    • Side chain: CH2CH2CONH2-\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CONH}_2
    • Functional Group: Primary Amide (CONH2-\text{CONH}_2)
    • Specific Test: Primary amides undergo Hoffmann bromamide degradation (IV) when treated with Br2\text{Br}_2 and KOH\text{KOH}.
    • Match: AIV\text{A} \rightarrow \text{IV}
  2. B. Lysine:

    • Side chain: CH2CH2CH2CH2NH2-\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{NH}_2
    • Functional Group: Primary Amine (NH2-\text{NH}_2)
    • Specific Test: Primary amines react with benzenesulfonyl chloride in Hinsberg's test (I) to form a sulfonamide soluble in alkali.
    • Match: BI\text{B} \rightarrow \text{I}
  3. C. Tyrosine:

    • Side chain: CH2C6H4OH-\text{CH}_2-\text{C}_6\text{H}_4-\text{OH} (para-substituted phenol)
    • Functional Group: Phenolic Hydroxyl group (OH-\text{OH})
    • Specific Test: Phenols give a characteristic violet/colored complex with Neutral } \text{FeCl}_3\text{ test (II).
    • Match: CII\text{C} \rightarrow \text{II}
  4. D. Serine:

    • Side chain: CH2OH-\text{CH}_2\text{OH}
    • Functional Group: Aliphatic Alcoholic Hydroxyl group (OH-\text{OH})
    • Specific Test: Alcoholic OH-\text{OH} groups yield a red color solution with the Ceric ammonium nitrate test (III).
    • Match: DIII\text{D} \rightarrow \text{III}

Combining these matches, we get: A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III\text{A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III}

This corresponds to Option B.
