Answer: A

The correct matching is a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii.

Severability: R.M.D. Chamarbaugwalla v Union of India (1957), where the valid part of a law was separated from the invalid part.
Waiver: Basheshar Nath v Commissioner of Income Tax (1959), holding that fundamental rights cannot be waived.
Pith and substance: Prafulla Kumar Mukherjee v Bank of Commerce (1947, Privy Council).
Colourable legislation: K.C. Gajapati Narayan Deo v State of Orissa (1953).

Each of the other codes pairs at least one doctrine with the wrong case.
