Option 1 -> (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II) - Incorrect matching: "great guns" doesn't fit sentence A which needs a reference to powerful people.

Option 2 -> (A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV) - Incorrect matching: "jumped the gun" doesn't fit sentence A about decision-makers.

Option 3 -> (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III) - Correct matching: "the big guns" (powerful people), "gunning for" (targeting with hostility), "jumped the gun" (acted prematurely), "great guns" (doing very well).

Option 4 -> (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II) - Incorrect matching: "great guns" doesn't fit sentence A; "the big guns" doesn't fit sentence D.

Hence, Option 3 -> (A) requires "the big guns" referring to important decision-makers at headquarters; (B) needs "gunning for" meaning pursuing with hostile intent after criticism; (C) fits "jumped the gun" for acting prematurely before the announcement; (D) matches "great guns" indicating excellent performance in reaching semi-finals -> correct
