✓ Answer:
A
(i)-(B); (ii)-(C); (iii)-(A); (iv)-(D)
The correct matching of compounds to their IUPAC suffixes is (i)-(B), (ii)-(C), (iii)-(A), (iv)-(D). Ketones are identified by the suffix -one and contain a carbonyl group (C=O) located within the carbon chain. Aldehydes use the suffix -al and have their functional group (-CHO) always located at the end of the carbon chain. Carboxylic acids are characterized by the suffix -oic acid and the functional group (-COOH), which is also terminal.
