Answer-A
Only first option clearly defines the meaning of HIF, by using the term 'protein'. Option C can be a characteristic but not a complete meaning. The meaning can be derived with the help of the following lines “When oxygen levels decrease, the HIF protein inhibits oxygen-consuming processes of the cells by altering the activity of numerous genes”.

This is a assertion and reason type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(A) Explanation:
Alkaline earth metals are stable at room temperature except beryllium carbonate. It decomposes to give beryllium oxide and carbon dioxide. It is kept in an atmosphere of carbon dioxide so that equilibrium shifts to the right. The reaction is shown below. BeCO3 → BeO+CO2

This is a assertion and reason type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(A) Lithium beimg small in size, polarises large carbonate ion. Polarisation is the distortion of electron cloud of the anion by the cation. Thus, the carbonate of lithium decomposes easily on heating to form lithium oxide and CO2. The reaction is shown below.
Li2CO3 → Li2O+CO2

(i) Lithium has the highest negative reduction potential value. Due to the small size of lithium it has a small atomic size, the highest ionization enthalpy Due to this, the reducing power of lithium is the highest.
(ii) Sodium is a stronger monoacidic base due to lower first ionization enthalpy of sodium. Also sodium forms sodium hydroxide Therefore 1 mole of it replaces one mole of hydrogen ions from acids.
(iii) Calcium oxalate is an ionic compound because its hydration enthalpy is low. It is highly ins
