Match List I with List II and select the correct answer from the codes given below :

List I	List II
(a) Hatch Act	(1) 1833
(b) Northcote Trevelyan Report	(2) 1976
(c) Pendleton Act	(3) 1939
(d) Kothari Committee Report	(4) 1853

Answer: B

The correct code is (a)-(3), (b)-(4), (c)-(1), (d)-(2).

(a) The Hatch Act, which restricts the political activity of US federal employees, was passed in 1939.
(b) The Northcote-Trevelyan Report on the organisation of the British civil service is dated 1853.
(c) The Pendleton Act, which introduced the merit system in the USA, was passed in 1883; the list prints 1833, which is the only date left for it.
(d) The Kothari Committee on recruitment policy and selection methods for the civil services reported in 1976.

Pairs (a), (b) and (d) are firm, and only this code has all three, so every other code is wrong.
