Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Option 1 -> Incorrectly matches "hungry man is angry man" with weakest link concept, and misaligns other proverbs.

Option 2 -> Incorrectly pairs "hungry man" with contradictory benefits, creating illogical connections throughout.

Option 3 -> Wrongly associates "hungry man" with practical testing and other mismatches.

Option 4 -> Correctly pairs: hungry man with deprivation (II), cake with contradictory benefits (I), chain with weakest part (IV), pudding with practical test (III).


Hence, Option 4: (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III) -> A hungry person deprived of food becomes angry (II); having cake means not eating it (I); a chain's strength depends on its weakest link (IV); pudding's quality is tested by eating it, not just looking (III) -> correct
