Solution
Option 1 -> Correctly matches all words: Blasphemy with religious disrespect (IV), Plagiarise with copying others' work (I), Connoisseur with expert in art/beauty (II), and Ambiguity with multiple meanings (III).
Option 2 -> Incorrectly matches Plagiarise with multiple meanings and Ambiguity with copying work.
Option 3 -> Incorrectly matches Blasphemy with expert definition and Connoisseur with religious disrespect.

Hence, Option 1: (A) - (IV), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (III) -> This is the accurate pairing as Blasphemy relates to irreverence toward religion, Plagiarise means to steal intellectual property, Connoisseur refers to an expert judge of quality, and Ambiguity indicates unclear or multiple interpretations -> correct
