Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) P–3,Q–2,R–4,S–1

Explanation

Attrition mills rub/crush particles between working surfaces; balls create impact and abrasion; hammers deliver impact with shear; rollers compress and shear the feed. The intended matching is **P–3,Q–2,R–4,S–1,A**. Individual mills may combine mechanisms, but these are their listed dominant pairs.
