The correct matching is:

  • (A) Provoke - (III) Incite
  • (B) Obstruct - (I) Prevent
  • (C) Infringe - (IV) Encroach

Here's why:

  • Provoke and incite both mean to deliberately cause someone to become angry or upset, often to take action.
  • Obstruct and prevent both mean to hinder or stop something from happening.
  • Infringe and encroach both mean to trespass on someone's rights or territory.
  • Evade and dodge both mean to avoid something skillfully or deliberately, often by moving quickly.
