Match the following proteins (Column I) with their function (Column II). Which of the following is correct?

Column I	Column II
a. Profilin	i. binds to the (+) end of an actin filament, thereby inhibiting subunit addition or loss.
b. Cofilin	ii. blocks (−) ends, inhibits filament disassembly, to stabilize filaments
c. Thymosin-β4	iii. involved in actin treadmilling, but it binds specifically to F-actin in which the subunits contain ADP
d. Cap Z	iv. binds ADP–G-actin and catalyzes the exchange of ADP for ATP
e. Tropomodulin	v. binds to ATP–G-actin in such a way that it inhibits addition of the actin subunit to either end of the filament.

Following statements are regarding to determination of filament formation by actin concentration.

A. The critical concentration (Cc) is the concentration at which G-actin monomers are in equilibrium with actin filaments.

B. At monomer concentrations below the Cc, no polymerization takes place. 

C. When polymerization is induced at monomer concentrations above the Cc, filaments assemble until steady state is reached and the monomer concentration falls to Cc.

D. At steady state, the concentration of monomeric actin below the critical concentration.
