Answer

A-2, B-4, C-3, D-1

A-2, B-3, C-4, D-1

Explanation

The correct matches align with standard communication styles in different professional and social settings:

A. Cricket captain and team members: Matches Informal and firm (1)[cite: 4550, 4609, 4614]. The locker room dynamic allows for casual interaction, but tactical decisions require firm authority.

B. Judge and lawyers in court: Matches Formal and firm (4)[cite: 4555, 4610, 4627]. Judicial proceedings follow strict legal protocols and structured decorum.

C. Vice Chancellor and Deputy Registrar: Matches Formal and open-ended (3)[cite: 4554, 4619, 4621]. This administrative relationship follows a formal hierarchy, but discussions on academic policy are often open-ended.

D. Peers and coworkers: Matches Informal and open-ended (2)[cite: 4553, 4617, 4626]. Workplace interactions between equals are naturally casual and conversational.

Combining these matches gives the sequence A-1, B-4, C-3, D-2. [cite: 4570, 4642]

Matching communication types requires evaluating both the level of formal hierarchy and the operational flexibility of the setting.

Answer: (b).
