  4. DI-C, II-D, III-B, IV-A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because of the following biological classifications: I. Malaria is caused by Plasmodium, which is a Protozoan. It is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. II. Poliomyelitis, commonly known as Polio, is caused by the Poliovirus, making it a Viral disease. III. Tuberculosis is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, making it a Bacterial disease. IV. Ringworm is a common skin infection caused by various types of Fungi, not by a worm as the name suggests. Matching these pairs leads to the sequence I-D, II-C, III-B, and IV-A.
