✅ Correct Option: 1

Option 1: (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (i), (D) - (III) -> Correctly matches: "Beg off" means politely decline; "Brush up" means revise; "Count on" means depend on; "Get by" means survive.

Option 2: (A) - (i), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV) -> Incorrect matching: "Beg off" doesn't mean depend on, and "Brush up" doesn't mean politely decline.

Option 3: (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (III), (D) - (i) -> Incorrect matching: "Beg off" doesn't mean revise, and "Brush up" doesn't mean survive.

Option 4: (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (i), (D) - (II) -> Incorrect matching: "Beg off" doesn't mean survive, and "Get by" doesn't mean politely decline.

Hence, Option 1: (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (i), (D) - (III) -> The phrasal verbs are accurately matched with their meanings: "Beg off" is used when you politely decline an invitation or commitment; "Brush up" means to revise or refresh knowledge; "Count on" means to depend on or rely on someone; and "Get by" means to survive or manage with limited resources -> correct
