Correct Answer:

(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)

Explanation:

The correct match between the words in List - I and their most suitable antonyms in List - II is:

(A) generalise - (III) special

"Generalise" means to make general statements or form general principles based on specific cases. The antonym for this would be "special," which implies something specific or particular.

(B) compliance - (I) disobedience

"Compliance" refers to the act of conforming to rules or requests. The opposite, or antonym, is "disobedience," which is the refusal to comply or follow rules.

(C) innocent - (II) guilty

"Innocent" refers to being free from guilt or wrongdoing. The antonym for innocent is "guilty," which implies responsibility for a wrongdoing.

(D) forgiveness - (IV) retaliation

"Forgiveness" is the act of pardoning or excusing someone for a mistake or wrongdoing. The antonym here is "retaliation," which involves the act of responding to an injury or wrong with a corresponding injury or wrong.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

Option 4: (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)
