Group I enlists in-situ field tests carried out for soil exploration, while Group II provides a list of parameters for sub-soil strength characterization. Match the type of tests with the characterization parameters.

Group I	Group II
P. Pressuremeter Test (PMT)	1. Menard’s modulus (E_m)
Q. Static Cone Penetration Test (SCPT)	2. Number of blows (N)
R. Standard Penetration Test (SPT)	3. Skin resistance (f_C)
S. Vane Shear Test (VST)	4. Undrained cohesion (C_U)

P - 1; Q - 3; R - 2; S - 4
P - 1; Q - 2; R - 3; S - 4
P - 2; Q - 3; R - 4; S - 1
P - 4; Q - 1; R - 2; S - 3
