✅ Correct Option: 1

Option 1 -> (A) Canons = principles/rules of justice; (B) Censor = board that reviews films; (C) Censure = criticism/disapproval; (D) Cannons = ancient artillery weapons.

Option 2 -> (A) "Censure of justice" is incorrect; censure means criticism, not principles.

Option 3 -> (A) "Cannons of justice" is incorrect; cannons are weapons, not principles.

Option 4 -> (A) "Cannons of justice" is incorrect; same error as Option 3.

Hence, Option 1: (A) - (IV), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (III) -> "Canons" (principles), "censor" (film board), "censure" (criticism), and "cannons" (weapons) are the appropriate homonyms that correctly complete each sentence based on context and meaning -> correct
