  1. A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III
  2. A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
  3. A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
  4. A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I

Solution

Matching electromagnetic wave sources:
Radio-wave (A) - produced by rapid acceleration of electrons in antennas and transmitters, matches IV.
Micro-wave (B) - produced by Magnetron valve, matches I.
Infrared-wave (C) - due to change in vibrational modes of atoms and molecules, matches II.
X-ray (D) - due to inner shell electrons moving from higher to lower energy levels, matches III.
Correct pairing: A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
