List-I List-II
(A) Utility (III) Wants satisfying power of a commodity
(B) Cardinal Utility (I) Which can be expressed
(C) Marginal Utility (II) Change in total utility due to additional consumption
(D) Ordinal Utility (IV) Which cannot be expressed in quantitative term

(A) Utility -> (III) Wants satisfying power of a commodity: Utility refers to the satisfaction or benefit derived from consuming a good or service.

(B) Cardinal Utility -> (I) Which can be expressed: Cardinal utility is a measure of utility that can be expressed numerically, allowing for comparison between different levels of utility.

(C) Marginal Utility -> (II) Change in total utility due to additional consumption: Marginal utility is the additional satisfaction or utility gained from consuming one more unit of a good or service.

(D) Ordinal Utility -> (IV) Which cannot be expressed in quantitative term: Ordinal utility is the ranking of preferences or choices without assigning specific numerical values.
