The correct answer is Option (1) → (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)

Explanation:
- (A) "What is **the** issue that you are facing with your neighbour?" - Here, we use "the" because it refers to a specific issue that the speaker and listener are aware of.
- (B) "What **a** brilliant plan!" - Here, we use "a" to refer to any brilliant plan among many possibilities.
- (C) "When do you prefer having **breakfast**?" - No article is needed here because "breakfast" is a general meal category.
- (D) "Where can one find such **an** innovative item?" - Here, we use "an" because "innovative item" is a singular countable noun that begins with a vowel sound.
