Which ONE of the following options CORRECTLY matches the ISO series with their usages in environmental management system (EMS) given in the table?

$$\begin{array}{|ll|ll|}
\hline & \textbf{ISO Series}& & \textbf{Environmental Management System} \\
\hline \text{(P)}& \text{ISO 14001} & (i)& \text{Environmental labeling} \\
\hline \text{(Q)}& \text{ISO 14020} & (ii)& \text{Evaluation of environmental management system} \\
\hline \text{(R)}& \text{ISO 14040} & (iii)& \text{Addressing environmental aspects of products} \\
\hline \text{(S)} &\text{ISO 14060} & (iv)& \text{Life cycle assessment procedure} \\
\hline \end{array}$$

$\text{(P) - (i); (Q) - (ii); (R) - (iii); (S) - (iv)}$
$\text{(P) - (ii); (Q) - (i); (R) - (iv); (S) - (iii)}$
$\text{(P) - (iii); (Q) - (iv); (R) - (i); (S) - (ii)}$
$\text{(P) - (iv); (Q) - (iii); (R) - (ii); (S) - (i)}$

Based on the ISO $14040$ methodology for Life Cycle Assessment, match the terms with the descriptions in the table.

Term	Description
$\text{(a)}$ Goal and Scope	$\text{(i)}$ Based on the product or system, the comparative unit must be carefully defined and be same for all scenarios
$\text{(b)} Functional Unit	$\text{(ii)}$ The problem is described, and the objective of the study are defined
$\text{(c)}$ Life Cycle Inventory	$\text{(iii)}$ Evaluates the environmental implications due to the inventorized emissions
$\text{(d)}$ Impact Assessment	$\text{(iv)}$ Process based approach and input-output approach

The correct match$\text{(es)}$ is/are

$\text{(a)-(ii); b-(i)}$
$\text{(a)-(iii), b-(i)}$
$\text{(c)-(iii), (d)-(iv)}$
$\text{(c)-(iv), (d)-(iii)}$
