Did you get this right?

Solution

Option 1 -> Incorrectly matches Meteorologist with fossils and Cosmologist with elections, which are completely unrelated fields.

Option 2 -> Incorrectly matches Meteorologist with universe studies and swaps most other definitions inappropriately.

Option 3 -> Incorrectly matches Meteorologist with elections and Cosmologist with atmospheric phenomena, reversing key scientific fields.

Option 4 -> Correctly matches: Meteorologist with atmospheric phenomena (weather), Cosmologist with universe studies, Psephology with election studies, and Paleontologist with fossils.

Hence, Option 4: (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II) -> A Meteorologist studies weather patterns, a Cosmologist studies the cosmos/universe, Psephology is the statistical study of elections, and a Paleontologist studies ancient life through fossils -> correct
