(A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III)

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> Matches "collision" with sentence A (incorrect - collision means crash, not a personality trait), and mismatches other pairs.

Option 2 -> (A) amiable = friendly/pleasant person, (B) amicable = friendly settlement, (C) collision = physical crash, (D) collusion = secret illegal cooperation - all contextually correct.

Option 3 -> Matches "collusion" with sentence A (incorrect - collusion means secret conspiracy, not a personality trait), and mismatches other pairs.

Option 4 -> Matches "collision" with sentence A (incorrect) and "amicable" with sentence D (incorrect - amicable doesn't fit with robbery planning).

Hence, Option 2: (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (I) -> "Amiable" describes a friendly person, "amicable" describes a peaceful settlement, "collision" refers to a physical crash between vehicles, and "collusion" means secret cooperation for illegal purposes. Each homonym perfectly matches its sentence context. -> correct
