Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

(A) - (II) "Haste makes waste" → The sentence emphasizes taking time and being careful, which aligns with avoiding haste to prevent waste.

(B) - (III) "Once bitten, twice shy" → After betrayal (being bitten), Radha becomes cautious (twice shy) about making friends.

(C) - (IV) "A stitch in time saves nine" → Fixing the leak early (one stitch) prevents a bigger problem later (saving nine stitches).

(D) - (I) "Too many cooks spoil the broth" → When many students work on the same project, it can lead to confusion and poor results.

Hence, Option 4: (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I) → Each proverb perfectly completes the context of its corresponding sentence: hasty work creates waste, past negative experiences make one cautious, early fixes prevent larger problems, and too many contributors create chaos → correct
