3. II. Potassium nitrate (KNO₃): A key component of gunpowder (black powder) and also used as a fertiliser. Matches D (Gunpowder is listed).
4. III. Potassium sulphate (K₂SO₄): Primarily used as a fertiliser, providing potassium and sulfur. Matches A.
5. IV. Mono-potassium tartrate (KC₄H₅O₆), also known as Cream of Tartar: Used in bakery as a leavening agent. Matches C.
6. Combine the matches: I-B, II-D, III-A, IV-C.
