Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

A. Delusion – III. False belief firmly held on inadequate ground. Delusions are irrational beliefs that are resistant to contrary evidence (e.g., delusion of persecution, grandeur).

B. Hallucination – I. Perception occurs in the absence of stimuli. Hallucinations involve sensing things (like voices or images) that are not actually present.

C. Inappropriate Affect – IV. Emotions unsuited for situation. This refers to emotional responses that do not match the social or conversational context (e.g., laughing when discussing something sad).

D. Formal Thought Disorder – II. Derailment, neologism, perseveration. This includes disorganized thinking, creating new words (neologisms), and persistent repetition of words or ideas.
