Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
The 'bee's knees' means something excellent or indisputably the best (A-IV). A 'red herring' is a misleading clue that diverts attention from the main issue (B-III). A 'white elephant' is a costly possession of little use or value (C-I). A 'curate's egg' is something partly good and partly bad (D-II).
