Did you get this right?

Solution

Option 1 -> Incorrect matching: "bale off" is not a valid phrase; should be "waive off".

Option 2 -> Correct matching: waive off (cancel fees), bale of hay (bundle), friendly wave (gesture), pay bail (custody release).

Option 3 -> Incorrect matching: "wave off fees" and "bail of hay" are improper usage.

Option 4 -> Incorrect matching: "bail off fees" and "wave of hay" are grammatically incorrect.

Hence, Option 2: (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III) -> These are homophones with distinct meanings: "waive" means to forgo/cancel, "bale" is a bundle of material, "wave" is a hand gesture, and "bail" is money for release from custody -> correct
