✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> Incorrectly matches Maxim with "small hard ball" and misaligns all other terms.

Option 2 -> Correctly matches: Maxim (established principle), Pedagogy (art of teaching), Instigate (cause something bad), Pellet (small hard ball).

Option 3 -> Incorrectly matches Maxim with "cause something bad to happen" and Instigate with "established principle".
